PATH Freq 161.460

[northjerseybuff]

What is the story with this frequency? It is also the Delaware Lackawanna's main freq out of Scranton and apparently SEPTA's down near Philly. I live in north jersey and leave it on during the week in my scanner so its in place when I head to the Poconos.
I hear Path on it a few times an hour it seems..someone saying..something about an Agent..33rd st agent..or WTC agent..hoboken agent..but never anything more. Am I hearing 1 side of a conversation?

I believe that's dispatch trying to contact the redcoat that is on their respective platform.

And yeah...one side of the conversation...probably can't hear the portables that they have if you're not within range.

*sorry to bring back this dead thread guys* haha
