CANADIAN NATIONAL MC COMB SUB SOUTHERN REGION
 LISTEN - Using the Scanner Radio App for Android and iOS
(We highly recommend the Scanner Radio Pro app for Android @ $2.99 - it works better than TuneIn as it is optimized for Scanner Streams and has several useful features that TuneIn doesn't offer)
THIS STREAM IS CURRENTLY DOWN!

Stream Details: - This stream has been inactive for quite some time after hurricane damage.
- Desk 5 Homewood, Illinois, mostly coming off of a transmission tower at Hammond, Louisiana, located across the street from the Amtrak Station in downtown .
- Positive Train Control (PTC) has been implemented for the McComb and Hammond Subdivisions. A desk 6 was set up for administration of PTC, and it is unknown if that desk continues to be in operation today.
- At the south end of the Natalbany siding is the junction between the Hammond Subdivision and the McComb Subdivision. Trains headed to/from Baton Rouge come in to Hammond from the west.
- Trains headed to/from New Orleans(including the two Amtraks) stay on the McComb Subcivision.
- The McComb sub runs south of Hammond to New Orleans across the Manchac Swamp. An automatic drawbridge at Manchac is a major feature of this route, which is just a few feet above sea level. The ancient bridge is normally in the raised in the up position for boat traffic and in the past has frequently gotten stuck or slightly out of track alignment, especially in high winds.
- Hammond is where the McComb Subdivision "Main Line of Mid-America" diverges from the Hammond Subdivision freight-only line to Baton Rouge.
