Norfolk southern radio frequency

[NS SD70M-2]

Does anyone know what radio frequency to use to listen to the ns trains between detroit and jackson michigan?

If that's former Conrail territory, you might try 160.800, but that's a guess on my part.  Perhaps an NS fan will weigh in.

If you're scanning out on the road, make sure you have a permit.  Michigan is kinda fussy about that.

Any idea how to go about getting a permit?

What is the result of not having one?

The law in Michigan has changed. You can use a scanner in your car as long as your not using "in furtherance of a crime". So anotherwords, don't rob a bank while your waiting for the next train.

Gee - and I have a permit, too.  I went to the MSP website - it had the form and directions.  Glad to hear they've lightened up.  I heard that at one time the roads to Michigan International Speedway had warning signs about possessing/using scanners...

Now, back to those frequencies.

According to my 'American Railroad Radio Frequences, 12 Edition', the frequency IS 160.800. Also, Jackson Car Dept is 160.275 and 161.520 and 160.860 Ch. #3 yard.
One note is these are old Conrail frequencies. There is a chance that they are no longer used. If you have a scanner that you can enter a range, try a range of 160.200 to 161.6 and see what's active.
