NJ Railroads updating in progress

[Analogrules]

I did.

Northeast Corridor Line is a railroad in NJ

Raritan Valley is a railroad line in NJ.

North Jersey Coastline is a rail line.

Newark Penn Station is a major transit hub with its own Police Officers, NJT PD

It is obvious you are not from NJ and therefore should allow the DB admins who are actually from here to finish the page.

"Northeast Corridor Line is a railroad in NJ"

No, it is a line of NJT, not its own railroad. This is also where a point of clarification needs to be made, as the Amtrak Line that runs through NJ (and Boston/DC) is commonly called the "Northeast Corridor".

However, Amtrak officially calls this the "New York to Philadelphia Line". But, people who do not know the difference and makes a submission that is vague - it can easily be misplaced into the wrong subcategory.

NJT provides the Northeast Corridor Line service of commuter trains, while Amtrak runs their regionals and LD trains.

It can get very confusing and interconnected.


"North Jersey Coastline"

....Is a line of NJT.

etc etc

A good and proper submission would look like:

"NJ Transit, the Northeast Corridor Line, the dispatcher channel is 160.xxx between MPx and MPx", etc

Newark Penn may be a major hub, but saying its has its own police force would be somewhat inaccurate. It would be more proper to say that NJT patrols it, as some major facilities actually has its own security forces or patrolled by local police - even if under the management of a parent railroad, transit agency, authority etc.

New Haven Union Station in CT is covered by MTA Police and Amtrak Police as well as New Haven Police. Yet, it is owned by Connecticut DOT who also runs their own commuter trains (Shoreline East) from the station but does not have its own dedicated police force. One could think that AMTK or MTA are owners or the responsible police agency when they are not.

This is where I actually get specific and I ask those who submit information to be very specific, especially as it comes to railroads, military and wide area entities as common names can (and often do) be reused between them.

The Northeast Corridor used by Amtrak and shared with NJT uses 161.010. (This was already indicated in the previous page) before you removed it. Milepost markers are not needed because the SAME frequency is used the entire stretch. For just about ALL commuter RAIL LINES, the SAME frequency is used throughout the entire stretch, with the exception of Raritan Valley Line. In NJ, mileposts tell us nothing, but saying "between Cranford and Union station" is beneficial. Also, all Newark Penn approach trains switch to 161.010 (the northeast corridor channel and stay on that channel until NY Penn)

The ONLY mistake on the old page is that the Newark Division (ALL Rail Lines approaching Newark Penn) also use 161.010. NOT 161.235.

NJ Transit PD is actually a division of the state police. However, they have their own frequency for Newark Penn, which is 161.370. PCH, YOU incorrectly switched that frequency to say 160.215 which is totally wrong! I believe they also have their own analog frequency for Newark Broad Street Station and Secaucus Jct too). Outside of these major train stations, NJT PD use the NJICS Interop 700Mhz system, which is clearly documented correctly in the DB. Also, NO, they don't use any private security company at these stations.

Incorrect. They have State-wide jurisdiction and also in NY but are a separate agency.

 

[Analogrules]

Statewide jurisdiction....they have the same jurisdiction as any State PD officer has. Totally not the main point I was making though. My main point is that they patrol Newark Penn station and use 161.370 there. Not the frequency PJ has listed, which should have been corrected 8 days ago!!

Yep still waiting.....he'd rather debate who's right versus correcting any of the information.

WE havew had it with your constant condensing attitude. Now PJH has done his best. All the DB ADMINS do is data entrry, 99% oif what you're complaining about iCAN ONLY BE HANDLED BY THE SITE DESIGNERS. Go moan to them see what they do We have tired to tell you you time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time. PLEASE direct your anger and arrogance at them

No, it's a Database issue that needs to be corrected by a Database Admin.

The only real Site Designer would be Lindsay and this has nothing to do with the way the site is designed.

I think Jaymatt should get an in-fracture for calling another forum member arrogant. Since, I am a better person, I will not even respond to his rant.

Now, back on topic. I just checked out the RR page in construction and I noticed a few errors have recently been corrected. However, the NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line is listed as 161.235 MHz from Newark to High Bridge. This is totally incorrect! I take this train several days per week. The Raritan Valley Line uses 161.010 between New York Penn Station to Union Station. Between Union Station and Cranford Station, they use 160.860 Mhz. Then, WEST of Cranford to High Bridge, they switch to 161.235.

I've had enough of the bickering & insults going on in this thread. You guys with data correction requests can handle them directly with PJH...
