This feed combines two radios. One radio (in your left speaker) is always on AAR Channel 44 (160.770), which is used by CP Rail on the C&M Subdivision and by METRA on the Milwaukee District North Line (including the "J Line" to Fox Lake). The other radio (in your right speaker) scans the 16 channels listed below. Signal strength is lower on the UP channels due to distance.
NOTE REGARDING TYPICAL LATENCY: Broadcasts are heard through this site 5 to 35 seconds after actual transmissions occur in the field.
This set-up covers the CP/METRA line, the UP passenger and freight lines to Kenosha, the CN (former WC) line, and the CN (former EJ&E) that intersects with all of the above.
Radios are Motorola MaxTracs. Antenna is a Larsen NMO150C mounted 25 feet above ground level in an attic on a piece of galvanized steel to make a ground plane. Full duplex stereo is created by running separate radio signals through a Radio Shack 32-2056 (320-2056) mixer and then using an iMic for audio input (by-passing the internal sound card).
Monitoring location is near Rondout Junction, Illinois.
