I found Amtrak in the database, but am looking for BNSF and UP in the Los Angeles Area. Any help?

Few months back saw a BNSF Police K-9 SUV parked in downtown. Best I can figure they utilize channels for the rail division where they are working, but as mentioned in the above thread they have been noted on AAR73 which is 161.205.

In Colton the UP police are on CLEMARS 460.025.

UP's Response Management Communication Center in Omaha, Nebraska, and BNSF's Resource Operations Call Center receive emergency and other calls involving the respective railroads and dispatch the railroad police units nationally to these calls. I do not know of a radio frequency you can monitor to hear these dispatches. Others have said these dispatches most likely go out over cell phones, Nextel, etc., which clearly cannot be monitored.
There are other railroad police communications that can be monitored, however, such as some car-to-car and records request traffic which is mentioned in the thread LAflyer posted.
It's not really LA area but in San Bernardino, UP police units contact CHP's Inland CC on the CHP UHF channel for records requests and status updates. Unit callsigns are usually UP 75##. Just earlier this evening I heard two UP police units in Riverside citing subjects for warrants.
BNSF police have contracted with San Bernardino County Sheriff for dispatching services (i.e., records checks and status updates). They can occasionally be heard on the 7-EVC-1 talkgroup and use unit callsigns Santa Fe-##. This is, of course, only when they are working in the San Bernardino area. I do not know what happens in other areas.

To clarify, UPPD uses the CHP UHF "C" channel, 460.375 127.3 PL, in San Bernardino. I confirmed this today. I also heard them on 161.220 with car-to-car traffic in the San Bernardino area.
BNSF police also have their own car-to-car talkgroup on San Bernardino County System 6/7 with very infrequent use. I'm trying to confirm the ID before updating the database.
