Short answer
Rail transport documents are also examined under UCP 600 Article 24. They must identify the carrier, be signed or stamped by the carrier or an agent, and show the places stated in the credit. A rail document marked 'duplicate' will be accepted as an original (Art. 24(b)(ii)).
| Rule | UCP 600 Art. 24 |
