I plan to go railfan Ypsilanti MI in a few weeks, and I was wondering how many trains a day go through that town
B1G - The Big Train

I plan to go around April, when I get there around 11. what could I expect from your expierence from 11-6Ypsi wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 4:03 pmI 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. Trains get through Ypsi either 10 mins before arriving in ARB westbound or about 10 minutes after departing EB. M-Th this summer Amtrak is suspending 350 and 353. Amtrak is fully timetabled, and the freight might as well be.
For NS, M-F B25 comes through EB around 2-3am, and WB around 5-6am. Saturday B25 follows 350 and generally comes back west before 355 running during daylight both ways this time of year. No freight Sunday.
There will be nothing between 351 and 355 Monday-Thursday once Amtrak suspends service of 350 and 353. If your plan calls for one of those days during the service suspension (which starts on May 6th) you may leave disappointed.
