BNSF/NCRC/UP and other Nebraska Railroad frequency updates
Folks, I have submitted to database admin to update the Nebraska railroad database, looks a bit outdated and needs cleaned up.
If anybody else has more information to add, namely information for UP Bailey Yard, please chime in.
For railfans around Norfolk/Columbus/Grand Island areas, Nebraska Central RR is installing a new IP based dispatch system, NCRC also purchased a building for the dispatching center in Downtown Norfolk and new towers are going up across the NCRC System. New towers and the Dispatch center is slated to be online sometime around Thanksgiving.
BNSF has purchased back the Nebraska Northeastern Railway, frequencies have not been determined and unknown if BNSF is using the old NENE frequencies.
Moderators, if I have this (I probably do) in the wrong forum, my apologies in advance.

Great list.
Should this be 161.1 mhz for sandhills, not 162.1 mhz?

Oops!
I pulled that list together in the middle of the night and posted it later the next day. You are right, 161.1000 for the Sandhills Sub. |

38 - CPB 274 to Platte River
Marysville Subdivison

Channels with a "0" have been narrowbanded. I am sure the others are now narrowbanded as well as UP has been fairly aggressive with it. I am sure I am missing a few subs, but those are the major ones at least. Common UP road channels are 24, 27, 42 with 36, 38 for yard. 20 is common for MOW. Of course, any channel can be used anywhere.

I'm kinda confused. The IP-based system is just for dispatch or would it be for yard channels, road channels, etc.? I would be interested in turning on the rail channels as I think it would be interesting to hear what kind of traffic comes across those channels. |

Ip based means instead of using point to point backhaul, the connection to the towers is (for simple sake) done via the Internet. The whole process is transparent to the users. Voice audio to/from is the same with same coverage. It's just a different way for the dispatchers consoles to talk in the field. Up has cut over many areas (as well as public safety and private industry) recently.
