Reading a CSX road number off a passing unit at half a mile = magic. 10x42 is the railfan sweet spot — enough power, still light enough to hold steady. Nikon's PROSTAFF 3S is the standard recommendation: under $150 and the optics punch above the price. ($120-$170)

Scanner audio is unlistenable next to a passing freight without an earpiece. Standard 3.5mm right-angle plug fits the Uniden + Baofeng. Adds zero bulk to your kit. ($10-$15)

Class 2 reflective vest. Not for trespassing — for legitimate trackside viewing on public sidewalks and parking lots near busy lines, so the engineer sees you and you don't get a friendly 'move along' from BNSF police. Looks the part too. ($10-$20)
