For Maryland Railfanners

[Spleen]

Before I submit these changes to the database, can I get some verifications on these?

Obviously some of these are wrong right off the bat, and the CSX "absorption" of some of the old B&O, C&O, Conrail, etc. frequencies are not too well documented....a lot of this list was leeched from http://www.railfanswelcome.com/Railscan.htm, but I have no mobile capability at this time, and a downtown QTH doesn't allow me the VHF reception range I dream of having...forgive the metro rail entries, please.

One that you missed is 161.070 which is used on the NS Port Line between Perryville, Maryland and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I listen to it quite often. The Port Line is quite busy between 10:00 PM and the early morning hours.

Thanks...I'll list that as shared with CSX Dispatch until I can get some listen time...

I love MetroRail! 160.260 is the red line frequency.

160.380 is the orange and orange line frequency. The blue line trains use this frequency between Arlington Cemetary and Largo Town Centre. I almost typed Addison Road.

160.620 is for the yellow, green and blue line from The Pentagon to Franconia Springfield.

I haven't heard much on 160.920 Amtrak Road. Maybe I'm too far from Union Station and New Carrolton.
