Latest revision as of 05:03, 31 May 2015

The following are all rail companies with active operations within the State of Oregon, along with reporting marks, railroad class, and other relevant information. The "NXDN Capable" column indicates if the 4k00F1E designator was found in one or more licenses belonging to the railroad, but DOES NOT indicate whether they are using digital or analog.

With the addition of the PCC and OERR info to the database, all railroads with active licenses are now operating narrowband, and as such, the following tables have been modified to reflect this.

Information is current as of 5/6/2014
