Steve,
If you are finding PCIX those are the call letters for the railroad that
is the owner, they may also be the operator.
Now here is the tricky bit, I will use the example of a local short line
railroad.
This railroad the property is owned by the county and the port; one
railroad (GNPX) has the operating rights who then contracts with a
second company that is a railroad (BDTL) yet the line in which they are
running is known as another railroad (ESFR).
If any of you can sort this out into the proper categories I think it
will help a few many people.
I'm also trying to get my head around a slightly simpler case. The
Cincinnati Southern Railway [1] is owned by the City of Cincinnati and
leased out to the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway
(CNTP), a subsidiary of Norfolk Southern (NS).
The relations -- one for each subdivision [2][3][4] -- don't indicate
their ownership by the city anywhere. (`name` contains "CNO&TP" and
`operator=NS`.) It sounds like I would just need to add `owner=City of
Cincinnati` to the relations. Would that be correct, or would the lessee
go in `owner`?
