What diamound is best to watch trains Throwbridge Diamound or the one that NS crosses over the Flint Sub? And what are cool places see at Lansing and about how many trains go through each diamound.

Well, definitely not the NS diamound. You MAY get lucky and see an NS train there. Atleast at Trowbridge you may see a few CSX trains...this is in addition to the CN traffic.

We don't run trains in Lansing, it's a common myth that we do. Trowbridge is the place go and even there it will be slow!

I'd suggest going to the trowbridge CSX/CN diamond today. There's a guy named railcanon that's out there doing a 24 hour watch on action today(6/25) Stop by and say hi, I know he'd appreciate it.

CN = Flint Sub
CSX = Lansing Sub (or is it Plymouth?)
NS = Lansing Secondary

Used to be a poster here named Rail Canon. He's having some fun with that name and the pictures of canons on trains. However, Rail canon named himself after a camera...not a train :lol:
