   This feed covers a portion of CSX's busy Rochester Subdivision, concentrating mainly around the Rochester New York area, between milepost QC378 (Chili, NY) to the west and  QC351 (Palmyra, NY) to the east. Being a part of CSX's "Chicago Line," this double track mainline sees roughly 40+ trains a day, including various  locals (B symbols).
     Also heard is the CSX West Shore Subdivision from milepost QW359 (Henrietta, NY) to CP-359 (Perinton, NY) on the Rochester Subdivision. Following the old grade of the West Shore Railroad, this single-track ABS (Automatic Block System) subdivision  serves as a bypass around the city of Rochester, branching off of the  Rochester Sub at CP-382 (Chili, NY) and reconnecting with the mainline at CP-359. Any train, in any direction can "take the Shore" at the NF Dispatcher's discretion. The only trains required to take the West Shore Sub are trains containing High-And-Wide loads due to clearance issues on the Rochester Subdivision in the City of Rochester. Amtrak trains do not utilize the West Shore as the Rochester Amtrak station is located in the city.  
This scanner also monitors a local shortline, Genesee & Wyoming's  Rochester & Southern Railroad, which makes transfer runs to CSX's Goodman Street Yard in the  heart  of the City of Rochester. They can also be heard doing various switching movements in their Brooks Ave Yard  in Chili, NY as well as getting track authority on the Ex-B&O Rochester  Branch south to either their interchange with Norfolk Southern's  Southern Tier Line in Silver Spring, NY or to American Rock Salt in Mt. Morris, NY.
