I don't see why you shouldn't.
I can't listen to them any more, they removed the tracks here about 20 years ago, but I did listen to them then.

There is a section for railroad communications, but here is a site that lists 99% of the frequencies all railroads use. The site is weird though, you'd have to highlight and copy to a word document to really read it well, so I picked out the frequencies for Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation..

If you have the space, I would put all AAR frequencies in so you don't miss anything.

What did they use to use? I wish they would have left the line in...they pretty much killed any chance of towns like Morehead, Olive Hill, and Grayson from expanding when they tore it out...just my opinion

 

[RonnieUSA]

A Bearcat BC-210XL,yes it hurt Morhead Olive Hill, and Grayson.
But Grayson has manged to do better than Morehead near the interstate, as for attracting businesses, and factory's.

Ah I see, I actually meant what frequencies did they use...lol. Well the railroad cut south of Grayson, and went straight through Olive Hill and Morehead...they should have just left it as a downgraded line or railbanked it like NS did with the Peavine.
