Cyberider Posted January 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2011 I've been having a lot of fun listening to the conversations of Valley Metro bus and light rail dispatchers and operators recently. Anyone else doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted January 1, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 1, 2011 I got radio frequencies for NYCT IRT/IND/BMT. Since im in the north all i can get is IRT. Metro-North I can get if im on the RR. Everything else i have to be near a tower. Besides that got LIRR/NJT/SEPTA Subway/Amtrak & CSX + Police: all of them can be found here: http://www.radioreference.com/ Just select the State and City (Manhattan for example) Use this to catch rare stuff, caught a CSX Freighter on Hudson about 2-3 weeks ago thx to my scanner.

Cyberider Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted January 1, 2011 Hey, Mark, sounds interesting! I got all of my frequencies from RR too. The Valley Metro ones took some hunting as they weren't in the database but in a year old post. I'm having a ball listening to them. Gives you a whole new outlook on operations!

HarvestmanMan Posted January 2, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2011 I get taxi frequencies sometimes, but I don't get bus radios too often. It's kinda hard to tell between the two sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberider Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted January 2, 2011 You can check the information for your city here: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/ Hopefully you'll then know which you are listening to. I've got my scanner programmed so that it tells me what it is when a particular frequency comes up so I can tell if it's the bus or the train, and which channel.

Bonanza123d Posted January 25, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 25, 2011 do they do NYC Subway live radio through there, or do you need to be in nyc for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted January 25, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 25, 2011 do they do NYC Subway live radio through there, or do you need to be in nyc for that? I don't think there is a stream for NYCS. There was one set up by a forum member last year, but I think it's been taken down. Try this for the NEC/NJT: http://www.railroadradio.net/content/view/166/200/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted January 27, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 27, 2011 Programmed the frequencies, this is what I can hear: LI Bus, tower and bus LIRR DIVIDE, JCC, QUEENS, NASSAU, but only the tower transmissions are intelligible. Train transmissions are usually garbled depending on how I point the antenna MTA Bus Queens depots, tower transmissions only NYPD transit division, undesired but clear (uses AAR channels) Occasional IND interference Amtrak/NYC Bus is inaudible.
