Hello:
   
  Here's a page that I've used quite a bit to identify reporting marks, and it's organized by first letter of the reporting mark.
   
  http://www.pwrr.org/rrm/
   
  There are other pages as well, and a quick Google search returned several other sources including:
   
  http://www.nrhs.com/reporting_marks/
   
  http://www.nakina.net/report.html
   
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporting_mark
   
  All equipment (locos included) is identified by reporting marks containing up to four alpha characters, and any mark ending in "X" identifies equipment owned by an owner that is not a railroad.  However, CSX is a railroad and it does own its own equipment, so to identify itself as such, they added a "T" to their reporting mark to comply with the rule.
   
  Hope that helps,

  Can any direct me to a site or book that gives the owner information behind each four letter code?
   
  Thanks
