[enki042000]

Hi all.I've been scanning for a while now and was wanting to scan the freqs of the two rail companies here in Lafayette,IN. I looked in the db and the Laf. yards wern't included.Any info would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Best bet would be to scan the entire railband and try to find what you're looking for. Its channelized and there are around 90 channels.

See the railroad Wiki entry:

Railroad - The RadioReference Wiki

It's been reported in one of the railfan groups I read that the RB Dispatcher will be taking over the Monon south of Lafayette on March 3rd however the frequencies will remain the same.

CSX has split the road and dispatcher channels in just about all of its former Conrail territory. The Crawfordsville Branch between Clermont and Ames (Crawfordsville) is dispatched by the IC Dispatcher in Indianapolis on 160.560. The road channel on the branch remains 160.800.

All three of the above have been replaced with:
160.2900 - RA/RB Dispatcher
