There is a commercial source for railroad frequency listings; a book
by Tom Kneitel called RAIL-SCAN. The blurb on it claims that it is
"the absolute largest compilation of railroad scanner frequencies
ever published -- 4000 railroad-related listings". It is listed in the
catalog of CRB Research (PO Box 56, Commack, NY 11725), at $7.95 (Item # RS).

This catalog also has many other scanner and communications books,
and some of the standard survivalist and "covert operations" books
sold by many mail-order dealers.  (Anybody ever notice that these
books are always sold mail-order, and not in bookstores where you
could look at them first? I believe it's because the sellers 
realize that if a customer gets a chance to scan through the book
first, he'll realize it is not worth the $8.95 or whatever the
book costs... Anyway, that refers to the "build your own
submachinegun" books, not the scanner frequency lists, though
they are probably overpriced, too.)

Probably worth dropping them a postcard for the catalog, in
any case.
