Okanagan Valley Railway (reporting mark OKAN) is the railway division of Omnitrax, a transportation services company. Tracks run 94 miles (151 km) from Vernon to Sicamous and serve five towns en-route. Among the businesses served are forestry, farming, chemicals and cement. Okanagan Valley Railway's biggest customer is OI Canada, Western Canada's only producer of glass beverage containers.

Because the OI glass plant closed in Spring 2009, OKAN lost most of its business and ultimately shut down on September 21, 2009.^[1]
