CN Moterm switching radio channels?

[Zaax]

When CN is switching cars in the Ferndale Moterm yard what AAR radio channels would they use? Just channels 32 & 28 or something else?

They usually use 160.53 & 160.590. They call the yardmaster on 160.845.

160.740 is used in Pontiac.

Thanks for the info.

I live in Royal Oak and have great radio reception all up and the the Holly. I have one of these about 35 feet above the ground here: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/cma-gp-6

BTW I see train names like Q117 mentioned here as departing from Moterm. Is there a timetable available somewhere of trains that leave there?

Last of all can you tell me what milepost number is around 13 Mile Road?

[GTW6401]

Q117 is an extra intermodal so they have no set departure time. Generally those extras run late afternoon or evenings.

13 Mile Road is roughly MP15. Royal Oak is at MP13.

There is a defect detector at 17.8 near Maple Road in Birmingham.

Thank you again.
