Eastern Railroad News Archive - June 1, 1998
I decided to dig some of the more interesting stuff out of the Eastern Railroad News archive and make it available again. Here, you'll find a collection of Conrail and other area radio alarm detectors from the late 1990s. These audio clips are RealAudio 3.0 files (*.ra). You will need a RealAudio player capable of playing version 3.0 files.
You can get a free RealAudio player at www.real.com
Note - For converted Conrail-to-NS detectors, the NS Division/Line/Milepost will be listed. For recordings of original Conrail detectors, the original Conrail information will be listed.
