Feed Notes
Northern Berkshire Rail Ops feed (North Adams)
This feed currently uses a Baofeng 10in portable two-way antenna with a USB software defined radio module, broadcasting from a Raspberry Pi 4B using RTLSDR-Airband. Antenna will be upgraded in the future. Antenna elevation: 1103 ft ASL / 13 ft AGL.
Scanned frequencies:
- Berkshire & Eastern Patriot Corridor Railroad Operations - 161.25 MHz
- Berkshire & Eastern Patriot Corridor Dispatcher - 160.98 MHz
- Berkshire & Eastern Maintenance of Way - 161.235 MHz
- Berkshire Scenic Railway Operations/Dispatcher - 161.40 MHz
- AAR Head of Train Device telemetry transmissions - 452.9375 MHz
Most chatter occurs when trains are being held on the siding at North Adams for other rail traffic heading to or coming from the Hoosac Tunnel. Other transmissions occur from trains switching between the Adams Spur and the main line. Transmissions are sparse but occur daily. Given the lack of traffic in the area, the HOTD frequency is also included in the scan.
Defect detectors heard:
- PAR (B&E) MP 424.4 (161.25 MHz)
