CN Rail Freq's

[SCPD]

Hello. I am from Ontario Canada.

I am just wondering if anyone on here would happen to have a complete list of all the channels that CN uses. I have them all for Canadian Pacific Railway. I just want to have a complete list of all the CN Rail channels they have. So I can enter them into my scanner. And lable them correctly. For example: CN 1: 161.415, etc. And which channels are repeater channels.

If anyone on here has a complete list I can have or get I would appreciate it.

Let me know.

I will be waiting for any replies to this post.

Thanks.

You need a copy of the Canadian Trackside Guide. It's a thick handbook of all Canadian rail information including frequencies (by channel number as you describe above, but also by subdivision). The Bytown Railway Society is the creator and seller.

CN Rail Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Ok. Thanks for the info.

So in the Trackside book, it shows all the freq's even by channel number. So it will show both TX & RX freq's along with the channels that are repeater freq's. Also it shows all the freq's that are used for each railroad, like every single channel they have and that they probably would have in their radio's. Let me know. Before I decide to get it or not.

I will be waiting for any replies to this post.

Thanks again.

I don't know where my copy of the guide is right now, but I am 90% certain everything you state above is in there. You won't be disappointed, I'd say.

Ok. Thanks Jay911.

Just wondering here Jay911 or anyone else. Is it maybe possible someone can either take a picture or copy a few pages from the book say of thos CN Channels and say CP Rail and maybe anything else like maybe our subdivison here in Ontario, which would be in Northeastern Ontario (White River Sub). And the CN Rail (Ruel Sub)

If anyone can do this, just so it will give me an idea what it will show in this book, before I decide to get it.

I would appreciate it.

Let me know.

Thanks again everyone.

I would think posting pictures of the pages from the book would be copyright infringement.

Just purchase the book, you won't regret it.

[exkalibur]

[dapaq2]

Just a couple other things I was thinking before I make my decision to buy this book.

- Will this book have updated subidivison info for all the subs here in Canada, like update for this year or will it be from when ever they last updated this info. And say if they made certain sidings longer last year (2012). Will it have this updated info in it as well or not yet.

- Will it have all the frequencies for all of the railroads here in Canada. Or is it just frequencies for CP RAIL and CN RAIL.

- It says it has a map in this book, so like what exactly does it show on these maps.

These should be my last questions before I decide to buy this book.

I will be waiting for any replies to this post.

Thanks again.

Check my post in this thread http://forums.radioreference.com/ontario/262560-railway-monitoring-gta-anyone-any-experience.html particularly the CP MacTier Sub, that's what the Trackside pages look like.

This book is updated every year, I have received my 2013 copy.
Yes, all freqs from all railroads from BC to Newfoundland.
The maps are simple line drawings with placenames.

Enter your location and max distance (I usually use 50 km). Make sure to remove the low and high frequency filters.

For CN, seach on these two licensee names:

RAC/ACFC - CNR
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY

For CP, you can search on:

RAC/ACFC - CPR
CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY

Here's a neat way to visualize rail networks across the country (might take a few seconds to load - zoom out when it does load):
