Last few days lots of work on the lower end, multiple track cars doing tie replacement, possibly ballast cleaning and probably tamping and so forth, some of it overnight work.

lvrr325 wrote:What even is the Fair Grounds sub?Yes, the Fair Grounds sub is the 1.9 miles between CP-293 and CP-SALT (MP QCB 1.9). It has always been under the effective control of the dispatcher that controls 293 with the Timetable note: "Southward trains from Baldwinsville SD must not pass signal at CP-SALT without verbal permission from the ** Dispatcher".
I presume Syracuse Terminal is more or less what it was in the NYC days, the mainline from approximately CP-278 to CP-296, and the B-ville Sub the ex-DL&W north from CP-293. Unless Fair Grounds is the signaled stretch of this line between roughly Nine Mile Creek and CP-293.
I've never heard of a change from 161.070 for the road channel.

There is enhanced reception up to the Watertown area from my location this morning and I am hearing the NB on 36. The Road channel remains 64 (161.070) so the only remaining mystery is what happened to the Montreal sub.lvrr325 wrote:I've never heard of a change from 161.070 for the road channel.Since the change from 160.800 on the St Lawrence Sub (that's been a while, although 160.800 does still get used as "channel 2" on occasion), it's been 161.070, and I just heard radio traffic on it the other day.
