I AM HERE! need help catching trains

bad news, no shenandoah valley railway stream anymore. Used to hear trains all over the area. could use help in using gputz and radio scanner help

first of all is 160.950 and 160.245 the proper frequencies for the hagerstown district?

if i go to point of rocks or harpers ferry is 160.230 a helpful channel for csx road and is 160.320 and 161.520 a helpful radio frequency for dispatch

Is it BB OR BD dispatch?


thanks

============================================
160.950 is the NS road channel.  160.245 may be the NS dispatcher's cahnnel.  I'm not sure.

========================================
160.230 is the CSXT road Channel.  160.320 is the BC (east of Weverton) dispatcher's channel.  161.520 is the BB (west of Weverton) dispatcher's channel.
