Scanner frequencies on the internet

For those of you that would like to listen to railroad radio traffic from the comfort of your computer desk, check out this cool internet site. It does not cover the entire country, but it does list some interesting areas.

Looks to be the same frequencies that are on railroadradio.net
and railroadradio.net doesn't have the pop-ups.


(how can we all be the 1,000,000th visitor to the website???)

Be Alert
The world needs more lerts.

It's the 3rd rail that makes the difference.

To those of you having problems, might I suggest getting better security programs for your computer. I use Norton Anti-virus, McAfee Internet Security, and Panicware pop-up stopper. I do not receive any popups. None. Zip. Even at this "terrible" site.

Panicware is a free download from PC World. Go to the link below and look for the download titled, "Pop-Up Stopper Free v3.1.101
