Kinder Morgan in NJ ???

[zerg901]

Kinder Morgan is a large oil tank farm / petro pipeline company in the USA ... they have 4 terminal facilities listed in NJ on their website

Perth Amboy Terminal ... 80 acres ... 113 tanks ... onsite hazmat and emergency response (fire/spill] team] ... 920 State St ... Perth Amboy ... 732.826.1144

Linden Terminal ... 21 acres ... 7 tanks .... 4901 Tremley Point Rd ... Linden

Carteret Truck Rack Terminal ... 168 acres ... 16 tanks .... 760 Roosevelt Ave ... Carteret ... 732.757.7432

Carteret Terminal ... 78 Lafayette St ... Carteret ... 197 acres ... 280 tanks ... 7.8M barrel total capacity ... fire and hazmat team onsite ... 732.541.6161

could only find 3 radio licenses for Kinder Morgan in NJ .... maybe the Linden site does not have radios or uses an offsite system or uses a non Kinder radio system

all channels are FB2 except as noted

WPXU605 ... 461.65 461.70 463.425 464.025 464.075 464.225 464.7375 464.925M ... One Terminal Rd in Carteret (which is their mail / office address] ... 732.541.5161

WQAY449 ... 461.2875 MOI ... 461.70 463.475 464.7375 .... 920 High St Port Reading ... 732.826.1144

KWW968 ... 451.225 ... 461.875 .... 760 Roosevelt Ave in Carteret ... 732.541.5131

plotting out some of the radio sites seems to indicate that 1 central radio site might cover 3 of the terminals .. and other FB2 sites might serve as backup FB2 sites ... anyone have better info?

Kinder-Morgan Carteret Emergency Response ... this indicates they have multi fire trucks at one site but I am not sure that is 100% accurate

Start here for Carteret and Perth Amboy. I never got a chance to submit it to the RR database in the past.

Thanks "GM" for the lead .... it tells us the following for Kinder Morgan ... maybe info from 2011 to 2016

Carteret

461.65 D132
463.425 D132
464.075 D754
464.275 D516
464.375 179.9
461.70 ?
464.025 ?

Perth Amboy
461.70 D445
463.475 D464
464.7375 ?

gonna make a map and plot all this stuff out ... maybe we can figure out exactly which channels cover exactly which sites ... and where the fire trucks are at

maybe someone local can fill in some info also

Sign in - Google Accounts ... ragged map of kinder morgan sites in nj ... (if thats shows as SIGN IN ... not sure why ... no sign in should be required]

checking satellite views, street view, and kinder morgan info sheets ... can confirm that there are 4 Kinder Morgan terminal sites

comparing the fcc info and the Jim Robbins info to the Kinder Morgan terminal sites .... it seems to line up OK with the 4 terminals .... the Perth Amboy freqs match the Perth Amboy Terminal exactly ... the Linden Terminal does not have any listed channels but it is very close to the Carteret Terminals ... the Carteret channels match the 2 Carteret Terminals very well ... in addition the KWW968 license has 451.225 R and 461.875 R on the Carteret waterfront ... maybe those 2 channels are used for maritime ops and or the Linden Terminal .... would seem likely that the Cateret Truck Rack Terminal has its own dedicated channel

Figuring out which fire trucks might be based where seems to be a lost cause .... since 2018 they have received one new dry chemical truck and one new engine and 2 new smaller trucks ... and the fire fandom site now has pictures of a huge rescue truck and a huge white engine ... if I had to guess I would guess they have 1 big engine at the Carteret Terminal and 1 big engine at the Perth Amboy Terminal ... and a smattering of other trucks at other locations ... or they might have all the trucks at 1 location ... or they might have 4 big engines ... or or or

Note 1 ... Perth Amboy also has a truck rack where petro tanker trucks can be filled

Note 2 ... the terminals have a mixture of truck, railroad, pipeline, barge and deep draft vessel connections
