Railfanning Monroe

Folks, I'm heading to Michigan from Oregon Friday, and wanted to do some railfanning after my reunion. I'm familiar with the CSX line from Toledo as I grew up with it in my back yard, but I was wondering what train frequency is like on the former DT&SL, as I'd like to see some CN stuff for once.

The BN 7306 was born as Mopac 3081 and had the dynamics added when it was rebuilt for BN use. The Mopac SD40-2 pic is probably the 3091, which was an early SD40-2.
