Thumbs up New to Scanners

The Uniden BC72xlt has all your requirements. Enough channels to program in all the railroad channels.
About $90 bucks on line from several dealers. You can get a antenna cut for 160mhz that will increase reception a little for about $30. Comes with a AC adapter for house power. I use mine for local railroads and being on the Hudson River I also listen to ships and tugs. Solid reception up to 10 miles either way up and down the river. More expensive models don't do any better range why's they just cover more bands and have more channels which are not needed for railroads.
