Since I model the mid to late 70's mainly. Does anyone remember those barcodes on the side of cars and locos?

Well I would like to add the model of the readers to my trackside. I have found the model of the reader but I can't find any info on how or where they would be placed and relationship to the track.

Any info and pictures would be great!!!!

Thanks in advance,
James Wall

Dont hold me to this but I think the majority of them were installed around the throat of yards and possible around interchanges

Here is a pic of AEI not ACI readers on KCS in Meridien, MS. I assume the ACI readers would be about the same distance. Hope this helps. Dan
