I dunno about the frequencies for Richmond to DC but here is DC to NYC:

DC to CP-Morris, Division post (on the other side of the Delaware River from Trenton NJ): 160.920

CP-Morris to NYC (frequency used as far north as New Rochelle NY): 161.010

Also, NJT lines that connect to the Northeast Corridor use 160.235. These lines include the: Atlantic City Line (connects at CP-Shore, in North Philly), North jersey Coast Line (Connects at CP-Union in Rahway NJ), and the Raritan Valley Line (connects at CP-NK just south of Newark NJ Pernn Station. Its really making a connection off of the Conrail Lehigh Line, as the RVL tracks connect to, and use this line, from Aldene NJ to Newark.)

Hope this helps and enjoy your trip!

Here is a site with very good Amtrak coverage. Use the Northeast Corridor Route.

Thanks to radio for telling us about 160.8.

160.290 seems to be a Washington D.C. Yard or maintinence frequency. 160.350 also appears to be a maintinence frequency of some sort for Union Station, Washington, D.C.

I hear data tones on 160.410.
