OT-5’s complicated registration process is being retired February 3rd and OT-57 picks up that same day. If you haven’t transitioned over now is the time!
The Loading Authority OT-57 system provides a centralized, paperless process for registering private freight rail equipment and access to controlling entity (shipper, owner, or lessee) contact information and storage information. It facilitates the potential placement of private freight rail equipment at specified storage locations on a railroad.
- Final day to register is Feb 2nd
- OT-57’s application is much simpler
- Register up to 50k railcars from a spreadsheet
- Unlike OT-5, there is no approval process. If your application is correct, you are registered
