The following is the railroad listing from my 1979 book of radio frequencies.
The book covers the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. I would suspect that if any of the listed
railroads travel through Pennsylvania they would use the same frequency they
use in other states.
