Updated Skunk Train Info...
Hi Everyone...
I had a chance to ride the Skunk Train from Ft. Bragg to the midway point and back yesterday. I monitored all 3 channels and have the following info...
160.215 - Referred to as Channel 1 - Simplex mode only, used west of mile marker 12 on the track. Heard base, train and onboard portable coordination traffic with the conductor.
160.650 - Referred to as Channel 3 - Simplex and repeat modes, used east of mile marker 12 on the track. Base, train and onboard portable coordination traffic with the conductor.
161.085 - No channel designator heard, but was used once when returning from the trip going westbound. Train to track crews only, coordinating which siding the speeder cars were on when the train was traveling through blocks that were having maintenance work being done.
Great ride, but no steam engine this time.
