Thanks.

It'd be intresting to see if they use any of the other road channels too.

I can't believe REALGEO hasn't commented on this thread. You are likely to meet him on your trip, because that RR is his hobby!

Maybe he'll see the thread if it is at the top again.

Good evening, everyone!

Sorry for the post-trip comments, but I've been on the "bad order track" the last few days with a sinux infection.

At FEVR, we are licensed for AAR channels 09 (160.2450) and 77 (161.2650), on license WNGL486.

99.99999% of the FEVR radio traffic you'll hear is on 160.2450. The only people who use 161.2650 are those who have newer radios than the railroad does!

Allan - I hope you enjoyed your trip!

Thank you. And yes I did. It was wonderful. I brought along my Scanner along to. It was very interesting how we got stuck at the BNSF for a RED signal. You people are great. Again. Thanks for a great trip.

Thanks for the compliment!

Not to get us off-track on this thread, but the "red signal" you're referring to has to do with the BNSF railroad's crossing with us.

Strangely-enough, we are the PRIMARY railroad at that crossing - yes, the small FEVR has precedence over the BIG BNSF when it comes to matters of the crossing. In 1906, it was the CB&Q (later BN, then BNSF) that crossed the Fremont Elkhorn and Missouri Valley (F&EMV) railroad and they've had to maintain that crossing since then.

That crossing is known as an "Automatic Interlocking", which uses bulky relay logic to grant permission, via colored light signals, to proceed through the crossing. It works just like a traffic light would, only this one has many safeguards built-in and detects, via the rails, which section of track the approaching train(s) is/are on.

Take care!

Thanks for the reply. Here is that Red signal I was talking about.

Thanks. I'm going tomorrow.

Hey, did NE. Central RailRoad change frequencies. I used to hear them when they came through Madison on 161.1900
Thanks , Rob.

just curious as to how you found this..... i went to the database, went to nebraska, went to dodge county and found nothing of the sort..... where am i not looking??

Howdy, Rob!!

AFAIK, Nebraska Central is no longer using their 161.1900 AAR channel - the license in the FCC database is expired.

NCRR does, however, have either 2 or 3 UHF frequencies in both Columbus and Norfolk, so they might have small trunking system or may be just operating in conventional mode!

Jake,

When you go into the database, on top, is were you select Govt Conv, Business Conv., and Others, deselect Govt Conv, and select Business and you will see all the railroad and other business in Dodge county.

I will be come out their with my 10 year old brother on October the 13th to ride the Train. Later.

Too bad F&EVRR is too far from Omaha for me to recieve. I would gladly put it on over my UP/CN/-IC/IAIS Omaha Stream.

But as of now, I am working again with OPPD on another corona discharge problem that has cropped up. When OPPD replaced the first set of problem insulators, reception was great!!

Now it really sucks. Again.

Its been 3 weeks and still waiting....

I don't realy think that OPPD realy cares. Their is no excuse for not having the problem fixed. Slackers.

OPPD is a dream to work with. You have never had to get NPPD to do anything for you!

(Sorry-Off topic. I won't do it again)
