This technology gave way to the current DPU remote control used by the Powder River trains that serve Plant Scherer north of Macon, GA. The fact that they now have more powerful locomotives with better adhesion ratings probably helped in killing mid-train remotes.

Good evening everyone. Long time lurker and former old forum member. Back in the 80's during my chilhood and teen years I recall NS running mid train helpers through Atlanta's east/west line. The mid train helpers were controled by NS's remote boxcars. I never see any engines anymore midtrain. When and why did this pracice stop?
Just about any scanner you buy will be able to pickup RR frequencies. What you spend will be proportional to increased sensitivity of that scanner.
