Live in Groesbeck Texas and want to monitor RR freq's. I think it's a UP line that runs through here. Thanks.

Click on the "Database" section at the top right of the Radio Reference page. Then click on the map of Texas. Then click the section for "railroads" near the right of the page. There are lots of freqs used by the U.P. Railroad.

There should be a BNSF line not too far from Grosebeck. More over to Moody ,McGreggar, Crawford and those areas.

Matt,

1414 means that the railroad radio is set to both transmit and receive on AAR (American Association of Railroads) channel 14: 160.360. Many railroad radios can select the transmit and receive frequencies separately.
