I used a Bearcat 7 Scanner (You drivers know what Im talking about) and when I was laid over in different areas I would ride the airwaves looking for stuff. <br /> <br />One of the most memorable was the litany of Police Officers being called into war after 9-11 while I was rolling thru Central Texas. The dispatcher would inform them they would respond and others would join in with support and it was a "full day" <br /> <br />I never really understood the train talk for two reasons 1- I am confused by all the train names such as STL 456U or UYT 654W and never could keep track em and Two- The periods of silences sometimes put me to sleep. <br /> <br />However a man had a scanner the day the Challenger came thru our area and he used it to listen for the train. It was very helpful.
