The Philadelphia region is one of the great rail centers in the northeastern US, with freight service being provided by Norfolk Southern, CSX Transportation, Conrail Shared Assets, as well as several small regional and local carriers.  This stream is dedicated to bringing you audio from the most active road channels in the region.

 

Channels being monitored are:

The majority of the NS action you'll hear is on the NS Harrisburg Line, particularly the portion between Philly and Phoenix on 160.8.  NS Mainline action can, however, be clearly heard from CP-RIVER to Phoenix,  and almost the entire length of the Morrisville Line from CP-Lang to CP-Norris.  There is also a lot of activity at Abrams Yard near Bridgeport, PA, as well as good portions of the CSX Philadelphia and Baltimore Divisions between Trenton and Wilmington, and Conrail activity around Philadelphia and South Jersey.

The receiver is located in Lafayette Hill, PA, about 2 miles from CP-KING on the Morrisville Line, about 7 miles from CP-RIVER, and about 4 miles from Abrams Yard on the Harrisburg Line.
