I receive a lot of requests from "rails" about railroad radio frequencies. I am not into listening to railroad chatter once I leave the property, in fact, once my train arrives back in Boston, I shut the radio off and forget about it.

For those of you who have scanners and enjoy listening to railroad two way ranting and raving, here is a current list of "Shore Line" and Southern New England area railroad radio frequencies.

Enjoy!
