Metro Train Collision

I got a chance to do some monitoring of the Metro trunked system and the DC trunked system (800 MHz) in the hours after Monday's tragic train collision. Neither of these systems comes in well in Fredericksburg, but the warm weather and nighttime hours probably helped reception somewhat. The scanner had trouble decoding the digital on 490.8875 (Metro trunked system) for some reason, so I was never able to hear a transmission on this frequency.

Metro Trunked System talkgroups:
1744 Buses
1840 returning shuttles to Virginia; "SOMs" (sometimes patched to 1904)
1904 Shuttles (sometimes patched to 1840)
1968 talking about keying up VHF radios
24688 Bus Supervisors
32784 Red Line Ops
32976 no voice; Red Line Supervisors?
50224 Metro Transit PD Tac 7
