So I know Three Rivers is on the Grand Elk Kalamazoo Sub and there is a train every few hours I would like to know about how many trains pass Three Rivers usually

4 trains a day. 2 Southbound and 2 Northbound. Plus the occasional stone train (as needed).

Symbols 102, 503, and 700.

Okay thank you, what days does the rock train run, and what times do the other trains run?

I guess clearly not for asking what days the rock train runs? The line I railfan rock trains are occasional but dont run on certain days they run one usually every week or so

What LRF is getting at is the wiki shows the days the trains run, and their approx on duty times from the yard they start in. Can then try to approximate from there when the trains would show in Three Rivers.
Another good resource to see exactly what times the train goes through is to watch this webcam in Three Rivers. Rewind up to 12 hours and see when the trains head north and south: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gy0HBHFkzA

Elkhart's cameras may also help with the rock train, since they pass the cameras twice on the way through.

Sorry, I have not kept track of the days or the frequency.
