I didn't hear anything about a NAPALM train moving through that
particular area.  I DID hear a lot of freight switching at the Winslow
yard on 160.935 MHz.  The ATSF road channel in Winslow had some
chatter on it when a train would pull through (160.650 MHz.)  There was
some chatter on 160.335 MHz.  That latter one is a PBX channel.  Other
than that, it was pretty quiet except for some talk on 161.205 MHz.
That one is supposed to be the RR police.  I am still looking for the
frequency used by the people on board the AMTRAK.  I couldn't hear a
peep from them on my hand held throughout the entire journey to and
from Winslow.  There sure were a lot of freights going through at night.
