Re: Lake State Railway
Good location for Lake State Railway from my experience is Flint. If you park at Court Street, you'll be near the Kearsley Diamond which offers some good CN action as well.

Re: How many trains go through Ypsilanti
I hope you don't mind a slow predictable pace of train action, but the answer is 6 or 8. For Amtrak check whatever day you're going with Amtrak's track a train or tickets.

Re: River Rouge railfan meet-up 4/6/24
The east side of the crossing on Pleasant St between the Detroit Line / Conrail Bridge Leads and the Marsh Track may be better for sitting. Better angle of trains coming off the Junction Runner as well as lighting, and more room to park. Sitting in the "warehouse" parking lot on the west side of the...

They were falsely expecting a pickup at Universal Logistics, instead placed 4 Boxcars with no pickup.
They have 4 empty Gondolas for Strong Steel, and the NYC Shove Flatcar.

Then were cut back to Walbridge in 2013 when Hicube business switched back to NS. D717 ran flatcars with frames for the Dodge R...

Re: Carleton, MI railfan meet
Why start so late?
Whether 1 or 100 foamers show up, the host should arrive around sunrise.
With train counts being at an all time low, other activities other than sitting by the tracks to make time pass may also help with attendance with emphasis on food, drink, and tourism.
