Kalamazoo Scanner fans?

Unread post by Approach Slow »

Who listens to railroad radio traffic at night in the Kalamazoo area? Can you hear BO Tower talking to trains? Can you hear Canadian National 549 job working? Can you hear Amtrak while they visit Kalamazoo?

549 runs at night. Probably gets a late start

Use to hear BO Tower all the time not anymore. I live 30 miles southwest of Kalamazoo in Marcellus. Amtrak also moved the HBD on the AML from 151.9 to 148.6 in the last few weeks.
