Current Status: Spring 2022 - foliage has filled in. This reduces the reception range of the scanner. Crew calls of the signals at CP123 can still be heard (when the crews speak up of course...). End-of-Train telemetry can be heard as trains approach from the west. Followed by the call at CP123. The call at CP123 is heard first for Westbound trains followed by End-of-Train (EOT) The EOT signal is a one-second burst about once a minute. 

Background: This was a new feed (as of 29 Sep 2021).
