frequency reference source?
Author: Jeff

Is there an on-line referrence source for railroad frequencies. The location I am researching is Wardner/Cranbrook in British Columbia.  Thanks, Jeff Pape

I'm not sure if you are looking for US or Canadian railroads.  A few resourse can be found at:

http://www.trainweb.org/dispatchoffice/  
http://www.whrc-wi.org/railfreqs.htm
http://www.on-track-on-line.com/scanner-radio.shtml

Those should get you started if you are looking for US rails.  The channels / frequencies are basically the same on both sides of the borders as far as I know.  I just don't know what railroad uses what channel / frequency.  Some of the roads that operate in both countries may use the same channel in both countries, at least as they operate near the border.  As you probably know, railroads are in the slow process of converting to digital (NXDN) and you need a scanner capable of that mode to decode the signals.  There are none available are a resonable price these days.
