The icing on the cake, I cleared some of my witers block and made some excellent progress on the paper I have been trying to pull together. Still smile every ...

Re: Scanners
FWIW the NXDN capable portable radios are only around $750. If you have a HAM license they can also be used for the 2 meter band.

Re: Durand Today ???? 5-2-13
Oh, and I think 502 was also the train that was thanking the detectors over the radio.
"... Detector out."
"Thank you detector. Have a BEAUTIFUL day!"

Re: CSX TRAIN LOCATION UPDATES MAY 3 2013
Sounded like Q335 passed through Ensel around 630. Also sounded like D707 departed around 730. Just going from the sounds of the horns, though.

The Phys Plant switcher has been working on unloading coal for the past couple days. While hanging out in south campus I have repeatedly heard them as they cross the service roads.

Re: Scanners
Yeah, absolutely. Transmitting without a license is not only illegal, but would be potentially unsafe. No matter how much listening you do, your haven't been properly trained in the railroads' operation (current employees excepted). Transmitting on their frequencies may block important communication...

Re: Scanners
NXDN radios are available. They cost quite a bit more than a scanner, especially including the necessary programming software and cable. However, they can work well for scanning purposes. Just be sure to lock out the transmit functionality.
