Bluegrass Railroad Museum

All,

Going to be visiting the Bluegrass Railroad Museum (Versailles) in the spring. They're licensed for 160.275, 160.500, 161.160 and 161.190; can anyone confirm which is actually in use? Four frequencies seems a bit much for that organization.

Thanks,

I would note that frequency of calls while the train is moving westbound towards the river will be mostly quiet as the engineer controls the movement, on the push back you will hear plenty of activity as the conductor will be calling crossings and directing the engineer on movements. The engineer pushes the train blind at the commands of the conductor in the a rear MU cab.

Its an interesting back up move with a few short steep shoves up hills and some very tight curves. Be sure to sit on different sides for the down and back trip as scenery on both sides is interesting at times.
