Hello All,
I live in San Angelo, Tx and I am interested in listening (and monitoring) railroad in my area. I'm a bit confused on some of this. There was an issue put out a couple years ago by the San Angelo Amateur Radio Club newsletter or "KiloWhat" as it was called, that listed the following frequencies: 160.9350(AAR055) - Dispatch, 160.4400(AAR022) - Yard 1, 161.4900(AAR092) - Yard 2 and 160.3200(AAR014) - Yard 3. I set up my BCD436HP to an outdoor antenna and recorded railroad frequencies from 10/10/2019 - 10/15/2019. This is what I found: AAR022 (Heard mostly), AAR055 and AAR084 to have what sounded like regular railroad related traffic. AAR066, AAR097 and AAR033 to have what sounded like NOAA Weather traffic. Many hits on EOT(457.9375), HOT(452.9375), PTC6(220.7550) and LRC Ch 7(452.9687). I did not have ATCS frequenices programmed at the time, but I will program them in, record and update. There is a license for WPWW832 160.4400(AAR022) and 161.4900(AAR092). As mentioned above, I did here 160.4000(AAR022) a lot but I did not hear 161.4900(AAR092) at all.
I don't know much about this railroad and how railroad works in general. I have looked at the wikipedia page for Texas Pacifico Transports but didn't really learn a whole lot. If anyone has any knowledge of this railroad, how it works or frequencies used, any information would be greatly appreciated.
I have recently installed ATCSMon but when I look for the railroad for my area in the files page on the yahoo group, I don't see any. I don't know if i'm just not looking in the right place or if they just don't exist. Also, If there is not any for my area, is there a way to make them? I want to say I read where some one used an SDR Dongle and monitored the ATCS Frequencies but I don't remember where I read that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
