Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS Sewickley PA detector

Has NS changed the radio frequency of this defect detector? I’ve watched 3 trains go over it but nothing on my scanner. Haven’t heard any train crew talk either. TIA

Could be "talk on defect only" which is becoming common elsewhere.

Can confirm. AAR Ch 89. Changed about 9/14/20. Why? I do not know. The previous channel went back to the Penn Central era. Just another way they are destroying the Conrail heritage, IMHO.

NS has been making numerous radio frequency changes...

I helped a guy I met during my railfanning trip in October that had no idea of the changes. He had an old Conrail scanner (he retired from the RR).
