That's very interesting info, mistertower. Thanks for sharing it.

One thing that made me curious is a comment by UP Dispatcher 254 a few months back. She was having radio problems that night and couldn't hear a train down near Caliente or Bealville. She told a train, "my repeater is down, I can't hear a word you're saying, call me on the phone." I heard this conversation on the 160.845 repeater, so it left me wondering what other repeater is she talking about?
