To Joeyalone: if you have a scanner and want to listen to the Indiana Harbor Belt RR, go to 160.980 for railroad activities in the Chicagoland area. That is the main frequency that the IHB uses for most of their movements. <br />Another funny thing about the IHB is the facvt that when you look up to see where a lot of your other big roads have dispatchers at is out of state, but the IHB has their dispatchers in one office in Calumet City, right next door to the CSX System. The CSX operates on 160.230 or 160.320. I have just about every frequency needed to listen to all the local rail lines around Chicago and suburbs. I have also seen the IHB section of the dispatch center. I used to work for them, and went in there a little over a year ago, to see about trying to get back on. I was told then by an old friend that I wouldn't want to come back, to which I told him: "if you love trains and railroads as much as I do, yes I do!" He never said another word. He said in order to hire out I would have to go out to the Hammond, Ind yard to put in my application. So far I haven't found a ride out there. <br /> <br />ralph zimmer ralphn9kym@aol.com
