Looks to me like FSK of some sort. Is it audible? It doesn't look like its quite loud enough to be.

One of my mothers companies is located on the grounds of a major railroad in the northeast and their telecom system uses microwave transmission towers as opposed to landlines. Hence they have to dial into the network using aol as opposed to a t1 that they have at other locations. I know not all railroads use microwave transmission for communications but if you are noticing rail road tracks with a 4mhz signal. chances are you're tresspassing on the property of one who does. I hope that helps and sorry for being vague....Im just not supposed to know that i think. The reason why they put them up supposedly was i think like 30 years ago to save money on copper.

I think he meant that the signal looked like a pair of railroad tracks on his analyzer display: not that real railroad tracks were somehow involved.

Looks like some really low bit rate FSK signal. *Lots* of companies use wireless links for data transmission. At this low bit rate I doubt is is anything more than a status indicator or control interface.
