I heard a BNSF Officer on Everett PD Dispatch 1 requesting a data check on the 800 Mhz system.
Keep in mind that if you are hearing railroad police on a TRS, there is always the possibility that the officer may be a reserve at a state or local agency as well. Railroad officers sometimes keep reserve status at other agencies to keep up to date on certain law enforcement skills.
When they are operating as a reserve, would they still use the same TG and identify with the railroad callsign?

Mass Bay Transit Authority Police (Metro Boston) is T-Band, but also patched into the MBTA EDACS and have begun using the Mass State Police 700/800 TRS

NJ Transit PD now on statewide 700 MHz Phase II trunked system. Also being rebroadcast on the NJ State Police 800 MHz statewide trunked system. All talk groups and frequencies can be found in the Radio Reference database.

I'm not sure if it's considered a statewide system, but the MTA police assigned to the Staten Island Railway are on the New York State Police Metro-25 system.

New York MTA is on both Conn SP and Metro 25 now owned by the MTA not NYSP. MTA intends to build it out all along their ROW.
In Minnesota, Rail Agents are NOT licensed Police Officers, but BNSF Agents in the Metro have Interop access to ARMER.
Metro Transit and BNSF, operates MNRX NorthStar Communter Rail (and most other transit in the MSP area), has their own Police Department that does all of their operations on ARMER.

Alton and Southern police are on the STARCOM21 system in the Belleville, Illinois area (TG 7160) regularly.

Wait a second NS utilizes conventional NXDN Encrpyted. I wonder if they will be utilizing the new dual mode Kenwood series.
