TL,

Scanner Frequencies...

I think you may find what you need in a general search online, one of the wonderful Kalmbach Publications entitled The Compendium of American Railroad Radio Frequencies...

... and in the "Radio" forum here on rr.net...

Hope that helps.

I was out on BNSF between Wishram and Vancouver last summer... my radio just feel silent after I left Washougal. Not a peep. Nothing from detectors, either. Heard a signal maintainer once. In Vancouver, plenty of chatter. Same thing once I headed south on the Oregon Trunk, loud and clear from Wishram to Bend. Did I do something wrong? Or just have the wrong frequencies in my scanner?

Pasco West Dispatcher : 161.415mhz
Vancouver Terminal Dispatcher : 161.250mhz
Centralia South Dispatcher : 161.100mhz

One good source of iformation is at Altamont Press. Click on http://www.altamontpress.com and look for the Northwest Region Timetable. This timetable covers Alaska, Oregon, Idaho and Washington. It has line-by-line frequencies for the road and other frequencies.

I hope this helps. Good luck!!
