When did they get rid of the consolidated stencil?

2016.

No longer required, but I've seen TTX still apply it on new TBOX cars.

I've noticed this on other cars from other roads/owners too as they roll through the area. I thought it was a flook the first time or two.

My bet is someone on the ground types in the car number into a database and all the pertinent information is right there. No need to put it on the car anymore.


I'm surprised the US doesn't come up with its own version of DAC.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

I don't know what "DAC" is, but North America (US/Canada/Mexico) has had UMLER (Universal Machine Language Equipment Register) for decades.
