What radio frequencies are used by the Heart of Georgia operation around Cordele?

TNX.

At long last he came up with a very nice photograph of Tarr depot that I scanned. I don't know the date, but it's probably in the 1910s or 1920s best guess. I hope it's attached properly.

Returning to the discussion of railroading, does anybody have photographic or other useful documentation on the very recent track changes on Norfolk Southern around Petersburg? I know about BX interlocking on CSX and its connection to Crater on NS, and I think Walnut Hill went away with that additio...

It is difficult to scale the size of the antenna elements from the photo but I think it is a 4 bay 220 MHz antenna, not VHF. For 220 each dipole element would be about 2' vs 3' for VHF. 220MHz = PTC. Here is a little clearer picture this one located at cp291 on the Syracuse Terminal Sub. These are ...

-NG dispatcher will control the newly expanded Buffalo Terminal Sub from the EAS at CP-15 to the EAS CP-382 along with the Niagara, Belt, Lockport subs and Somerset RR -NF dispatcher will control the shrunken Rochester Sub from EAS CP-382 to the WAS CP-296 along with the West Shore. If you have a m...

"Are these pending subdivision changes related to the new antenna mast and instrument case that recently appeared at the Savage Rd crossing in Churchville?" I believe those antennas are all PTC related. They don't look like the radio base antennas at Batavia, Wende, etc. and they're unfor...

The top mangmnt in J'ville have adopted the mannerism of, "I don't care, just make it work or we'll find someone who can.". These words to spoken to Divisional mgt by a top CSX official regarding another project being attempted in another major NYS yard. This is their attitude towards mos...

We should know after tomorrow morning. Listen sharp.

So, if I'm reading this correctly: NC desk: Carman Hudson Mohawk Shodack Selkirk ND desk: Baldwinsville Fairgrounds Fulton Les Expos sub St. Lawrence Syracuse Terminal All radio channels stay the same, only the dispatchers move one desk to the right (with one notable exception). Did I get it right? ...

Since all this relettering first took place, the NI and NJ desks have been combined and are known as the NI. The NH desk has been moved from Selkirk to Indianapolis, IN. I understand that RailPace reported the NH desk was abolished in Albany when the Lake Shore sub was moved from the Albany to the ...

Since all this relettering first took place, the NI and NJ desks have been combined and are known as the NI. The NH desk has been moved from Selkirk to Indianapolis, IN. So there are currently 8 desks in Selkirk. More desk consolidations upcoming before the month is out. Stay tuned. I remember the ...

Nothing in particular. It's just a code that identifies that dispatcher desk. Over the past several years CSX restructured its dispatcher network to decentralize the dispatchers to five centers around their system. They located each center in the city of the division headquarters and renamed each di...

I just found that interceptradio site this morning and it had some...shall we say interesting listings. I think they list a bunch of stuff that they have mined automagically, but it might not all be useful information. You might compare notes with my CSX dispatcher table, although the northern and w...

I appreciate the replies. I found out from the PRR mailing list at Yahoogroups that West Penn had an extensive system, so extensive that it blew my mind. Here I thought they were a little rinky dink operation, and while they shaved costs as you said, they found a way to lay a lot of track parallel t...

Interesting photos. So, it looks like they did indeed lay their own tracks usually down the paved streets with overhead catenary. I tried to find remnants using the satellite and aerial views on Bing.com and there is very little evidence remaining. And those trestles were something else! The West Pe...
