Hey guys, I was wanting to know if any of you guys have good list of frequencies for central NJ, (I live next to the CSX west trenton line) I love taking pictures of the trains as they go by, and I recently got a pro-82 at radioshack, so I am looking for some good active radio frequencies for around here, since I don't feel like programing the 100 channels into it and only having 5 be actively used. What do you guys suggest?

P.S. I also frequent the NJ coast so I try and montior the NJ coastline trains as well.

This website has a lot of transportation frequencies. You just have to find the ones you need.
