Radio frequency
Posted by jwinter on Friday, December 31, 2004 10:00 AM
Is there a current, up-to-date guide out there that has railroad radio frequencies?

Thanks for your help in advance! [:)]

Well, you could go to railroadradio.net. Under the feed pages, it usually lists the Frequencys picked up. Also you could go to your local RadioShack and pick up a copy of "Police call", but make sure its a new version. I like Police call because it lists Railroads, police, fire, paramedic, marine, airports, and even some non-classified gov. frequencys.

Try Altamont Press. They can be found at http://altamontpress.com and have railfan guides for sale. They give a line-by-line run down of stations, control points, frequencies and other information.

I hope this helps.

Whatever happened to old channel one, which was grandfathered in from the old CRI&P? It is 161.610. I have religiously programmed it into my scanner for years, but noticed an article on RR frequencies now starts with channel 2. Is 161.61 defunct?

You can try my site as well... I'm always looking for area reports from people to add as well.

Good going, guys . . . keep it comin'! My knowledge base is pretty much zero and I am determined to make my new Radio Shack scan what I want it to scan, but RR frequencies just knock me out.
