Hoosac Tunnel Game Camera - Round 03! Look what we've caught this time!

One year ago, we set up a game camera at the world famous Hoosac Tunnel. Six months later we set it up for round two. This past week, round three! Check out what we captured over the one week period at the tunnel.
FYI, for anyone who hikes around the tunnel area, we'll NEVER post you or your actions, so no need to mess with the camera if you see it!
Please Note: The camera was placed along a public access walking/hiking trail, which is legal under Massachusetts law.

Thanks! I'd love to do monthly vids like this...But time...

They may be installing ATCS over the air
NS and CP Rail use ATCS channel 5 for their track control data.
It is very helpful to know where the trains are, what the teack switches are, the signal indications, etc..
CSX has replied heavily on KU band two way satellite dishes on their bungalows to transmit this data to dispatch, but on site over the air 900 mhz data is much better.
It is very similar to the 220 mhz PTC system.

Interesting!

Great video as usual. Thank you for doing this.
It looks like there is no real schedule for trains at this tunnel. Maybe more likely to see action between 3pm and 6 pm? Does that seem right?
Is there a frequency we could monitor that would help?

[@Imrfilms]

Thank you! Those times (currently) seem pretty accurate.
Some scanner frequencies that are helpful are for the front end and rear end devices. They "Chirp" when a train is near (I think there's a 5 mile radius or so.)
Front: 452.9375
End: 457.9375

I have a feeling that line is reaching Its end.

[@Imrfilms]

I hope not! (But you may be correct...)

[@apmazurka]

I sure Hope I'm wrong but I see The NS connection to CSX being built in Fonda? NY and they also have Trackage rights on the old B+A = CSX but there is SO Much work to be done before that so enjoy for Now LOL.

It seems like a more sensitive camera would be a wise investment.

[@Imrfilms]

Definitely! I'm open to any/all recommendations.

[@joshuam.6404]

wowwwww 4:53 !!!

[@Imrfilms]

Wish I could see that in person!!!

[@micheldescoteaux7192]

Good video, bad sound quality./ Audio.

[@Imrfilms]

I'd love to get a better game cam with a more sensitive trigger and better audio.
