Hi, I have gone through two scanners already, and none of them seem to be able to pick up the large railroads, such as NS, CSX, Amtrak, or even the Reading and Northern. Both scanners that I have used have picked up tourist railroads (i.e Strasburg Railroad, Black River and Western Railroad, etc) j...

Hi, I have an older scanner, probably about 20 years old. Whenever I railfan tourist lines, I pick up their radio chatter perfectly. But whenever I've been out to the Reading and Northern, NS, or Amtrak, I can't pick up any radio chatter, I can only seem to pick up bits and pieces. Anyone know what ...

When do the excursion schedules come out? I heard #425 is making a return this summer. I was up in Port Clinton yesterday and the conductor of the train I was chasing told me she's now an 0-6-0, because her rear and front trucks are removed for repairs.

Nice! I'm heading up to that one hopefully. Still deciding whether I should railfan it or ride.

Sorry about all of the questions, but I want to make sure I spend the day railfanning instead of searching for the t...

Id love to see them both restored, but the RR would only theoretically be able to use 972 to haul anything. 1187 wouldnt be able to handle the consists the RR runs these days.

When do they usually make runs?

Any idea when they would usuaally depart Scranton? I think I saw one when I was at Steamtown but it was either a Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks,

Any idea when PNRG gets into Port Clinton en route to Reading? Also, could you give me any info on RBMN weekend timetables? I made an attempt to catch some action yesterday but only succeded in getting NS.

Hi there,

I have heard that the EPRY runs the W&N Monday-Wednesday-Friday, and they are on duty at 7 AM, but does anyone know where they start out from?
