You need a sort of police scanner to monitor these bands. To be honest I just run mine on the marine band (which 160 and 161 MHz are a part of) and when there is some activity it finds it. Generally speaking you usually hear the train give out a district 4 message saying where they are, if you even get that. There is also a hot box detector in Zoar about 1/2 mile before the road the goes up towards Rowe center (just a stones throw east of the mile marker 411).You can find out what the source and destination of a train is through the messages they broadcast. 

Please remember this: if you have a 2 way radio with these frequencies it is flagrantly illegal to broadcast on them! The FCC licenses these channels for a reason!

Understanding the Sources & Destinations

It can be a bit tricky understanding the four letter source/destination codes. This should help you out both on the radio and on the internet.

East Bound
MOAY - Mohawk Yard, NY - Ayer, MA
MOED - Mohawk Yard, NY - East Deerfield, MA
SEED - Selkirk, NY - East Deerfield, MA

West Bound
EDMO - East Deerfield, MA - Mohawk Yard, NY
AYMO - Ayer, MA - Mohawk Yard, NY
EDRJ - East Deerfield, MA - Rotterdam JCT, NY

You can probably figure out that the four letters are really two groups of two. There are other combinations as well occasionally you may hear something with PO, that stands for Portland Maine.
