Reporting Marks look-up site?

Seems every time I watch a freight any more I see reporting marks (both RR and private) that are new.

Is there a handy website for looking up reporting marks alphabetically?

The Official Railway Equipment Register, book and disk, but it's expensive. The publisher doesn't offer it for free on-line.

If you look on RailInc's web site there is a publicly available spread sheet in MS Excel format which gives all of the marks and the contact points for each. It is usually updated monthly.
