ATCS provides multidisciplinary engineering consulting services. We specialize in full-service solutions in the fields of transportation, traffic engineering and planning, multimodal, environmental, land survey, geomatic, site civil, construction management and inspection, rail and transit, air and noise, and emergency management services. I've listened to the audio samples on the ATCS Monitor website and none of them match what I'm hearing and the freqs are lower. I live near the UP Moffat Subdivision in Colorado, on the eastern side of the Moffat Tunnel. There are four frequencies licensed to UP at various fixed points along the track. They are 452.925, 452.950, 457.925, 457.950. Network of ATCS Data Radio Base Stations and Control Points. The Caltrain railroad consists of approximately 78 miles of railroad tracks serving freight and passenger operations between San Francisco and Gilroy. Currently, 31 Control Points are in operation, between CP Fourth Street in the north and CP Michael in the.

This should be C:/Program Files/ATCS Monitor/ Step 2: Copy the file Ft Wayne Metro12.lay into the folder labeled 'Layouts' in the program directory. Step 3: Copy the file Ft Wayne Metro.mdb into the folder labeled 'MCPs'.

I am just wondering if there is anyone on here that uses ATCS to monitor the railroad subdivison for their area.
If so, where do you go to download it. Second what frequency do I need to enter into my scanner to be able to use it. After I download it and have my scanner hooked up to my computer, it should automatically show the subdivison for my area and all the trains that are out there.
Also on this program does it show the train symbols, like train number or train ID example: 101-23 (CP), to tell you what train is out there on the screen so you will know exactly what train is coming, just like it would show on a actual RTC Dispatchers screen or at a train station that the crews look at. Or does it just show green for there is a train and red there is another train waiting in the siding for another train.
Just curious so I can maybe try and start using this program to monitor the trains here to see where they are and all that.
I will be waiting for any replies to this post.
Thanks

Atcs Railroad Monitor
In the beginning, we talked about control points. On the display, those controls points are indicated by their station names. The first two station names in the example above represent control points south Castle Crag and north Castle Crag. Each control point includes signals and a switch. The illustration below puts labels on the many aspects of the Dispatcher Display. [The illustration shows approach signals on either end of the main/siding (we'll also refer to this area as the OS). Approach signals are NOT part of the Dispatcher Display because they are not controlled by CTC signals; instead, these signals respond to track indications and commands sent to the absolute signal adjacent to the switch.]
Viewing the Dispatcher Display from the left, there is a replica of a control signal displaying red. If one were standing on the track, this signal would be on the right hand side of the track. For a eastbound train, this would be the engineer's side of the cab. Signals for eastward traffic flow will always be on the engineer's side, as will be signals for westward flow. On the display, unique images are used for eastward and westward facing signals.

One of the nuances of ATCSMon's Dispatcher Display is that only one signal head is on the display at a control point. In reality, at a switch control point, there will be two signal heads illuminated. The topmost signal head will display a signal controlling movement ahead on the main track. In ATCSMon, that signal indication will be GREEN and the train will be cleared to proceed forward across a NORMAL aligned switch (as opposed to a REVERSE aligned switch). The train will then proceed to the next control signal at the other end of the siding.
In reality, the engineer would see a GREEN signal above a RED signal, the RED signal indicating the siding is not accessible. If the switch was aligned in REVERSE position to allow the train to diverge onto the siding, the engineer would see a RED signal over a GREEN signal.

[In all examples in this discussion, there will be no references to amber or approach signals since ATCSMon does not display that signal color. In real world railroading, amber signals are quite common.]
