Which code does this activity belong in?
Railroad Rolling Stock Manufacturing covers establishments that manufacture or rebuild locomotives, their frames and parts, as well as railroad cars and rapid transit vehicles designed to operate on rails for freight and passenger service. This code also includes production of specialized railway equipment such as rail layers, ballast distributors, and track maintenance machinery. The key distinction from Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing is that railroad rolling stock producers create complete vehicles and rail-specific equipment, whereas motor vehicle parts manufacturers produce components for automobiles and trucks rather than rail-based transportation systems.
