I was watching a CN crew lift cars on the Beach Spur, off the Oakville Sub. Mlge 31.86

In Burlington.

My scanner has 161.415? Train Standby

160.365? Car Control? Oakville-Aldershot

159.810?? Switching Aldershot

160.695?? Switching Aldershot

161.025?? RTC on the Okvle, Halton, Dundas and Grimsby Subs.

I'm standing less than 40 meters from the chaps and not hearing

a thing on my scanner.

Anyone say what frequency I'm missing?

Thanks

Trackside Guide Page 12-2 has the general CN frequencies which they sometimes use, I hear RTC asking people to use channel 5 etc quite frequently particularly if they are going to be tying a channel up for some time.

In reply to Malcolm:

Thanks for your reply.

At Burlington, train standby channel is 161.415 which seems to

cover a lot of territory.

160.365 is car control for Aldershot and Oakville which can be

used for work in Aldershot yard. This is Channel 5.

If a train is going to be working in the yard for an period of

time they go to Channel 7, 159.810.

If there is multiple activity in the yard, then someone will go

to channel 17, 160.695.

Trackside Guide Section 12 lists frequencies but it is difficult to

?figure out the areas some are used in.

Hamilton Yard has their own frequency?161.385, channel 40.

Then there are the M of W channels and Engineering channels.

Guess I'm just going to have to enter more frequencies and

see if some give me the chatter I want.
