I have a bank open on my 296 so I decided to give rail scanning a try again. When I grew up in Mtl, I lived near the massive St. Luc yards and enjoyed listening to the trains (it being one of the few radio activites not Ham that was allowed to be in English). Being here in Burlington probably gives me a good shot, Aldershot has CN running thru it and CP tracks go thru Waterdown and Burlington thru the north end.
I loaded in a bunch of frequencies from this site.

Would anyone with a general knowledge of rail scanning and/or a ARC file for a 296 have better frequencies?
I dont have the best antenna system, just a Diamond portable job, what is the genral range? I am south of the escarpment, gebrally it blocks me from getting anything to the north.
If anyone could PM or email or offer advice here I'd appreciate it greatly.
Eric
