		Some classification codes break the system above: e.g., 'RD' is used as a code indicating the power and the load for diesel railcars, and not 'DR' as one might expect: YRD-1 is a series of MG railcars, NRD-1 similarly an NG series of railcars.
		The serial number of a particular loco usually follows the classification code on the sides and the front or rear (between the buffers) of the loco.
		However, these classification codes were by no means universally adopted, and various railways had their own schemes.
