NXDN Frequencies Metro North

Searching a digital search website today, I found these listings for Metro North in my NXDN search. Any idea what exatcly they are used for? I do not live close enough to the tracks or New Haven to monitor them. Here is a link to the site;

Many railroads have added the nxdn emission to licenses. Only means they are licensed. Does not necessarily mean it’s in use.

That’s also a license. Same license registered with fcc. DFS nearly pools data from fcc. Many freqs may be licensed but not actually used. Listings on radio reference are what’s been confirmed as in use at one time or another.

It’s a good site with some nice perks but at the end of the day it’s all the same info that’s on fcc site. Site can be helpful finding new active freqs in some areas.

True, but I do see they have coverage in Stamford and New Haven here in CT.

MTN Fire Brigade covers GCT and all the shops and lines. New Haven shops have in internal brigade I know of, three of my friends were part of it. I know there is a water tanker on rails out of Croton Yards. Used to do EMT refresher with several of the NH guys back in the day.

I thought the Metro North Fire Brigade operated on the Metro-25 / MTA MRRS system.
