Any schudule for 2011?

Former B&M lines utilize a "duplex" radio system for dispatcher communications, where there are TWO frequencies. The dispatcher (or TOM, if you prefer) transmits on AAR CH. 70 (161.160 MHz), and receives on AAR 94 (161.520). Mobiles (trains, trackcars, anybody else with a radio that wa...

Ask and you shall receive... a few we...
