Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS Front Royal Question

Can anyone provide the AAR channels used at Riverton Jct.? Thanks for your help!

Posted from iPhone

The road channel is 160.9500 (AAR 056).  There is some use of channel 2 160.2450 (AAR 009) in the Manassas area, but I haven't figured out if the dispatcher radio bases on the B Line and H Line are capable of using that channel.

Thanks very much. Does anyone have a list of current trains thru there? Appreciate the help.

Which road trains use the B Line between Front Royal and Manassas, and which stay on the H Line to Roanoke?  Isn't the split something like eight on the B Line and four on the H Line?

Is the B Line full CTC or just CTC islands around the passing tracks?   

as usual, great info and thanks andrew...........

All road trains except 11Z and 12Z take the B-Line which is fully signaled. 201 and 202 used to run the Valley and we’re just routed Manassas-Lynchburg-Roanoke days ago. NS experimented with this in the past and went back to the Valley routing previously so time will tell if it is permanent this time.
