Freight service is minimal with most traffic consisting of VIA passenger trains. See VIA below. CTC (Centralized Traffic Control) is in use over portions of the subdivision. The CASO subdivision (co-owned by CP and CN but controlled by CN) runs from the Detroit River rail tunnel to Niagara Falls by way of St. Thomas although trains now run on the CSX line between Fargo and Chatham. With the opening of the Sarnia Rail tunnel, only a handful of trains now use this sub. There are hotbox (axle bearings) detectors on the CASO sub. at Woodslee and Tilbury. All are low power voice annunciating. There are no detectors on the Chatham sub in Essex County. Both subdivisions are run by computeraided Manual Block System from the dispatchers' office in downtown Toronto. The DETROIT-WINDSOR RAILWAY TUNNEL itself is owned and controlled by CP. CP paid for the enlargement of the north tube (westbound) several years ago and runs the bulk of the traffic -------------- VIA RAIL CANADA 161.415 channel 1 - end to end, CN dispatcher 161.025 channel 8 - CN Toronto DS dispatcher 160.935 channel 3 - CN Toronto dispatcher VIA trains run up to five trains a day each way between Walkerville (east Windsor) and Toronto over the CN Chatham Sub. -------------- Essex Terminal Railway 160.905 160.605 160.995 Runs from Drouillard Rd. to Amherstburg (approx 21 miles). Jobs are identified by their start time and can be heard from the very early morning to late at night. They interchange with CN (Van De Water Yard) at Dougall Ave., and with the CP at a small yard parallel to CPs Windsor yard along Tecumseh Rd. West near Crawford. -------------- NORFOLK SOUTHERN (NS) 160.44 road The NORFOLK SOUTHERN withdrew from southern Ontario at the beginning of 2004. Periodic (late night) Detroit - Windsor transfers are now the norm. (Also uses CN frequencies.) -------------- For more (and detailed) information, see the Canadian Trackside Guide published by the Bytown Railway Society (Ottawa). C P RAIL 161.475 channel 1 - main road channel, dispatcher 161.355 channel 99 - yard 161.115 channel 4 yard 161.535 channel 7 train standby 161.175 maintenance of way 161.265 yard (old boat channel) 160.725 yard (4141) Running Track 160.275 yard (1111) Runs from the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel to Toronto via London with a lead into the main yard along Crawford Ave. This is CP's mainline through Southern Ontario. Trains are identified by the number of the lead locomotive (e.g. SOO 6045), but they may also be identified by their three-digit train id (e.g. 246, 523, 721). Eastward trains have even numbers (Even-East); westward numbers are odd. Train numbers generally denote type of service. 1xx are auto/container trains, 4xx are local, 5xx are transfer, 2xx are international mixed. CP makes extensive use of the radio. Mainline trains radio their arrival at a 'mileboard'. A mileboard is just that  a sign which indicates a distance of one mile to a town, significant landmark or siding. In addition there is a voice annunciating hotbox detector located just west of Belle River (and another just east of Tilbury) and a voice height/width detector (for westbounds) at Manning road (County Road 19). CP crews now also OS (report) signal indication with CTC limits. Like CN, CP is also Computer Aided MBS (over-the-air permission given by dispatchers in Montreal) east of Lauzon road. The signal system is still in service. CTC (Centralized Traffic Control) signals controlled by the dispatcher govern the main from Lauzon Road to the tunnel. Control frequencies for these circuits are in the 800-900 Mhz range via a relay in Belle River. Canadian Railroads run without cabooses. Rear end devices, FREDs, communicate bi-directionally (data only) with the locomotive (head-end) on 452.9375 and 457.9375mhz. ------------- CSX (Chessie,C&O,B&O,WM) 160.23 Ch.1 - train to wayside 160.32 Ch.2 - train to wayside, end to end 160.575 yard The CSX no longer runs through Essex County. Any traffic heard will be from Detroit. There is also a late night transfer from Detroit that periodically runs to the CN CASO (Van De Water Yard). -------------- CONRAIL (CR) 160.80 train to wayside, end to end 161.07 train to wayside, end to end Norfolk Southern and the CSX bought up and split Conrail in the U.S. Conrail in Detroit is run as a terminal operation. Due to power mixing, CR, NS, and CSX locomotives can appear on any train. Amtrak in Michigan also uses these frequencies. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Please note that the frequencies listed above are the most active of those assigned to the various railways.

Some are allocated cross-system while others are regional. On occasion you may hear a crew directed to channel 5050. This means that the input and output frequencies are the same (Half-Duplex). If something like 5026 is specified, this means that the crew may speak on frequency 50 but hear the other side (at the same time) on #26 (Full-Duplex) (Think of your phone as full-duplex).
