I see lots of discussion about the scanner hardware, and I can read that. (I've already read a bit of it.) But what I'm after is a bit of a tutorial on what I'm hearing. I've listened for a while to the online (re-)broadcasts - and I don't really understand much of what I hear. I'd guess that it's just a matter of context, but I don't have that.
I've realized recently that despite a life-long interest in trains, and actually knowing a fair bit about railroading (I can identify almost every external part of a modern steam locomotive, for example), I actually know quite close to nothing about how railroads actually operate.
Where/what would I read to get a better understanding of what it is that I'm hearing?
