 The wide coverage of the Pacific Northwest Railroads Stream Network is made possible by mountain-top commercial communications sites and commercial-grade antennas, radios and equipment.  The site leases alone cost the stream hosts over $2,000 every year.  Donations go a long way toward keeping these streams online.

If you enjoy listening, please consider supporting our project by giving through the Pacific Northwest Railroads Stream Network website .  Your donation provides much needed financial support to keep the PNWRR streams running and does not financially benefit the owners of RailroadRadio.net in any way.  Thank you!


 

BNSF Seattle Sub (South End)

 

    We hear the Centralia South Dispatcher running BNSF, Amtrak, and UP trains from Tenino, WA to Vancouver, WA.  Amtrak and the Union Pacific have trackage rights over BNSF Centralia South's territory.  We will often hear trains switching in Centralia yard, as well as Puget Sound and Pacific trains interchanging with BNSF at Centralia.  For PS&P traffic, please listen to the Puget Sound & Pacific Railroad stream .

Live Chehalis Virtual Railfan Camera

The hosts of this stream also provide a live video feed on YouTube through Virtual Railfan, INC. This camera is installed on the former Northern Pacific Passenger Depot in downtown Chehalis, WA. The depot is graciously maintained by the Lewis County Historical Museum. 

 In conjunction with the camera, the hosts also operate The OS, a crowdsourced virtual train sheet that records each rail movement past the camera.

 

Technical info:

The stream reciever is located on Bawfaw (Boistfort) Peak, aproximately 3,100 feet above sea level.  The receiver is a Kenwood TK-790 fed by a Decibel Products DB264-A 4-bay folded dipole antenna with LMR-900 coax.  A preselector filter removes interference from other radios at the site, and an active multicoupler splits the output of the filter to multiple radios.  The antenna is mounted 40 feet above the ground on the side of an 80 foot tower.  The reciever is connected to a Pi-Streamer to encode the audio and feed it to the Shoutcast Distributed Audio Server over a microwave internet link.
