Anyone know what the railroad frequencies are for the dallas area?

Question

I would like to find the frequencies to put them in my scanner.

Answer 1

Here is a complete website of railroad frequencies:

http://www.whrc-wi.org/railfreqs.htm

Just find your local railroads and look them up on that site. I know the ones for my area are correct, so I'm sure they all are - FCC freqs. are public record, so that's probably where they came from.

Those will help for chatter, but if you're looking to find out when a train is getting near, you may want these:

452.9375

457.9375

Every so often, when within range, there will be a "chirp" on one of these frequencies, as the train nears.

Answer 2

search between 160mhz. and  161.55mhz.  most are in that range. Scanning is my favorite hobby. have fun. My son loves trains. He wants to be a train engineer when he groes up.
