    Hi from South Louisiana

    There has been some changes since I posted this. BNSF Lafayette Subdivision is still my favorite line, but my second favorite line is now the Kansas City Southern New Orleans Subdivision. Lately I have very much fascination with that said line. Also, my scanners I use for foaming have...

    Railroad Company Issue Industrial Flashlights

    I've been a flashlight collector most of my life, but I am giving up on it. Well, Except for the collecting of railroad flashlights. I will still collect models that are used (and have been used in the past) by train crews, signal and track maintenance workers and even railroad police...

    Louisiana Railroad Yard [and Mainline] Frequencies

    I am trying to compile a list of the yard and mainline frequencies for all Class 1 lines in Louisiana. I want to save it as a text file and keep it on my phone as a note, so I can have a frequency reference whenever I am foaming in the said state. I will also forward the information to...

    Uniden BC75XLT

    Understanding the Contents of a CTC Conversation

    Right, I am well familiar with TWC and how it works. The Lafayette Subdivision uses TWC and ABS. What would a CTC conversation sound like? I hardly ever get to hear one and when I do, it's not the whole thing since my scanner isn't up to par. It explains plenty that there is sometimes no...

    Understanding the Contents of a CTC Conversation

    I had tried it when I had a Windows computer but my scanner didn't pick up the 800 MHz band. Now I have two scanners that pick it up, but no computer with Windows. What about EOT monitor?

    Understanding the Contents of a CTC Conversation

    I have trouble understaning the contents of a conversation between dispatchers and train crews when they are using CTC. It is mainly because the only railroad within range of my scanners is the Union Pacific Livonia Subdivision and I hardly ever hear them. I don't know if this is a technical...

    Hi from South Louisiana

    Hello. I have had an account for this forum for a few months, but this is my first post (that I know of.) My two favorite lines are the BNSF Lafayette Subdivision (runs through my town) and the Union Pacific Livonia Subdivision. I do most of my foaming on the former. I don't go around the...
