The link referenced is the current frequency information. If I had to guess, it would be that the Susanville Dispatch Center was not operational when your car was in service and the Quincy office was dispatched from Redding. That part of the state is very sparcely populated and without a doubt was even more so a quarter of a century ago.

Has anyone been able to fully decode the assignment cards?

Bill, I truly appreciate your help. In the end, I have mine in my hands after a long wait. No Eminger Invoice, but I have the assignment card, now!!

The car still wears the white paint it left the CHP with. It was sold in November 1985 with 85,633 miles. The car served in Sonora CA.

Jim, that's great that your card was discovered, despite the fact that I had asked about it before. I hope that Steve continues to have success in future requests for these cards.

Interesting that the front of your card lists no specific usage (similar to mine). At least you were able to determine the CHP Office where it served.

Huh? I see the assignment location (425 = Sonora) marked in the "LOC. CODE" box in the lower right corner on the front of the card. I believe the "Sacto E" notation above it was added when it came back as a runout - was also sometimes written higher up in the lined area.

Michael, I was talking about the top part of the front card. Some of the cards I've seen (like Steve's) had notations in that area about where the car served or how it was used. In contrast, my card was like Jim's. I should have been more clear in my wording (I've been posting via my phone this afternoon while waiting at DMV)
