Western Railroad Discussion > Need Frequencies for Pocatello to SLC Utah, pleaseDate: 08/04/02 20:22 Need Frequencies for Pocatello to SLC Utah, please Author: nodefects I will be roadtripping to Salt Lake City from Montana this week via Pocatello and Ogden. Any tips on what scanner frequencies to listen to in Idaho and Utah would be appreciated.
Thanks, trw Date: 08/04/02 20:46 Re: Need Frequencies for Pocatello to SLC Utah, please Author: 3985 Check the Utah Rails website: http://www.trainweb.org/utahrails/index.html
They have a section labeled scanner frequencies, useful for the Salt Lake-Ogden area. According to their list, use 160.485 for Ogden-McCammon, where the OSL line from Green River joins the Utah Northern Pocatello-Ogden line.

For Idaho try: Montana Sub - Silver Bow to Pocatello Jct 160.515 Pocatello Sub - Pocatello to Granger, WY 160.410 Freq's courtesy of Altamont Press Brett Wirick Railroad Crossings http://www.trainweb.org/brettrw/index.html Date: 08/04/02 21:37 Re: Altamont Press TT have them Author: mundo Why, when folks need radio fregs from the Western Roads, they do not purchase the Altamont Press Timetables. They contain so much info for anyone, thats interested in trains, never mind those who are going to chase them.
If its new trackage and a transmission, says I am out of fuel at Hog Jct, then one can look at the timetable for Hog Jct and see where it is. Seems like folks just want someone else do do the work of looking up the info. Seems the computer is making more and more folks lazy. I am happy to say I railfaned 60 years ago, without a computer or radio scanner. Without support of these timetables, Altamont Press may no longer print them. They need volume of sales to keep them comming. Date: 08/05/02 17:37 Re: Altamont Press TT have them Author: BobE mundo wrote:

Of course, you had stations and operators to ask back then and we don't. We only have each other. > > Without support of these timetables, Altamont Press may no > longer print them.

Those of us who live in the east are loathe to shell out long green for an asset with a one-week useful life. Easier to ask questions via recycled electrons, as fas as I am concerned. BobE, owns no Altamont Press TTs, probably never will. |
