What is ORISS?

ORISS allows suppliers who do not have the electronic data interchange (EDI) capabilities to comply with the railroads' e-commerce requirements. To begin using the ORISS system, you first must contact your customer railroad, and they will issue you a User ID.

ORISS is governed by an association of purchasing executives from all major railroads. The seven participating railroads that use this service are:

  • Burlington Northern Santa Fe
  • Canadian National
  • Canadian Pacific
  • CSX
  • Norfolk Southern
  • TTX
  • Union Pacific
