In the near future I will be making the drive between Redding, CA and Vancouver, WA a bit more frequently than I would like. I'm planning to make the best of this situation and try to catch some of Central Oregon and Pacific operations on the Siskiyou Line. I'm repetitively familiar with operations south of Medford, but not so with the rest of the line. I've done a lot of searching online, and have found quite a bit of information, though most is at least a decade old. (https://www.alpharail.net/corp/corpschedule.htm is a great, old resource). I'm hoping someone can provide some info on current operations so I'm going in less blind.

Also curious what the current CORP radio frequencies are. I have the following listed in my notes, but have not heard much on them when on the south end of the line, though maybe there was not much to be heard when I was out.

Eugene to Rice Hill AAR22 (160.440)
Rice Hill to Medford AAR08 (160.230)
Medford to Black Butte AAR23 (160.455)

I made this drive between Christmas and New Years and was able to shoot the Roseburg Hauler waiting to get into Winchester Yard, and several SD40-2s sitting in Medford on the return trip.

Hope to catch a few more shots on this neat line soon. I can be reached off list at mbatryn(at)gmail[dot]com if anyone prefers.

Many thanks,
