Last PTC doc I had (will need to dig it up) stated that they settled on 220...at least for the Class 1's. There was talk about interoperbility between the RR's and manufactures.

What is the licesne? I wouldn't put too much credence in those freq's just yet, especially with the temporary designation. On the railroads I know, nothing has been done at the field level too much yet due to backend work that is still needed to bring it online.
In my neck of the woods, the equipment shelters, antennas, cabling etc have been installed for two years, but there are no radios installed yet due to technical issues. Locomotives are being retrofitted with radios and equipment, but wayside, not so much.
if the above is true why is NS pushing ATCS now and implementing it so heavily
