Does anyone know the "Service Group" for the Railroads

In the FCC database they are under IG ( Industrial/Business Pool, Conventional).

Service group in Sentinel?

 

[mrlthse]

OK, What is Sentinel?
I thought that the only major rail service thru Utah was the "Union Pacific"

 

[mrlthse]

Hey,
We are getting closer to my desired area of monitoring...
Does anyone know the FRN for the Utah rail services

 

[mrlthse]

Well,
looking up thru the FCC record for Rairoad Freqs in the "IG" sevice group
For the state of Utah I only get eight hits.
What search parameter should I be searching?

 

[mrlthse]

Wow...
Searching the FRN of the Callsign of KFQ404
I see there is over 239 listing...
This might take a while to find the Freqs to find Utah, State of listing...
Any suggestions?

I think you're trying to find specific frequencies for a specific railroad. Railroad communications are generally channelized and in a pretty narrow band.

My suggestion is to scan the entire railroad band.

 

[mrlthse]

That would be a good Idea,
However, One thing I do know is the VHF-Hi 97 Channels that are out there for the rail service.
I am therefore just interested in the "Callsigns" of the ones that are licensed to the primary user,
Which is "Union Pacific". And are assigned to the Ogden Utah Area Primary.
Wow... What a narrow search range that is to be.

FCC FRN: 0001539048 (UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY) (radioreference.com)

You will need to filter the the state by 'UTAH'

In all my years of listening to railroad radio, I have never heard an FCC callsign being used over the air. Maybe it happens in some places, but I've never heard it.

Did you look at the RadioReference Database for railroads in Utah as suggested in post #8?

 

[mrlthse]

In the past..
I have just went into the FCC record Data base and looked at every Frequency (Of the 97 available)
and looked for the "Filter" of Utah and proceeded that way...
And Yes, I agree I have never copied the Railroad service ever using there Callsigns over the air...

We don't use callsigns over the air. The closest you get is "UP 1234 to Dispatcher 14" and vice versa.

Thank you for your input,
I take it you are a rail employee,
And you are Just trying to keep
thing secure and straight.
Good Job indeed.

The Southwestern Wireless Con+ system that uses the System ID of 231 used to be grouped in with the 231 system in Texas until I found out directly from SwW that their system isn't assocaited with Texas system and they do not offer any type of roaming. This is why it lives on its own. The SwW system has been logged recently and the sites are accurate. I can't speak for the Texas 231 system.

That *IS* your callsign. UP1234.

 

[mrlthse]

OK,
I do understand that part...
and that is reasonable, between railroad (crew) employee.
But, As far as for us the monitoring person goes,
The FCC assigns a callsign in which is different between from the rail service,
And that is what I am looking for, along with the FRN numbers...

 

[Railbender]

If you want to see some callsigns (Which you will never hear over the air.) go to the Radio Reference data base, State Utah, Railroads. Notice UP has very few call signs listed. For monitoring purposes they are of no use anyway.

Dude, I gave you the answer a few posts ago. Post 11.

 

[mrlthse]

Yep,
