Partially - from BTC to Tigard Yard is OE track; CP Farmington westward towards Hillsboro is Tillamook District. At Tigard Yard, the Willsburg District begins and heads East towards Lake Oswego, while the OE continues South (West) towards Wilsonville.
Onboard comms will be either 160.2975 (WES Yard Ops) or 160.77 (P&W Ch. 1 - working) simplex. Any comms between dispatch and WES trains (Trimet 1001, 1002, 1003, 2001) will be on 160.425 DCS 251 (Ch. 4).
CP Farmington to CP Wilsonville is known as "The Corridor".
Hope this helps!
