I use a Radio Shack PRO-89 handheld. It lets you program 200 frequencies so I was able to program all of the known railroad frequencies with plenty of room left over for other frequencies like the local fire dept. and forest service. It also lets you switch instantly to the NOAA national weather radio. Overall a good deal, I paid $149. It does eat through the AA batteries it uses pretty fast but you can get around that by using a car lighter adapter. <br /> <br />Even better you might check ebay or a pawn shop. Just about any scanner will cover all the railroad frequencies, what you would want to check for is how many frequencies it will let you program. Having all the RR freqs. that are used in the country programmed into your scanner is handy.
