I live on Gulley Rd in Dearborn Heights and can see the Gulley Rd crossing from my house. My question is what trains should I expect to hear/see and when?please and thank you for the information.

AMTK 351
AMTK 353
AMTK 350
AMTK 352
AMTK 355
AMTK 354

NS 38E
NS 39E

B90 local (either or will run)
L15 local

60T
61T

As far a I know these are the "daily trains" and I assume there are a couple of other transfers/ trains out of Wayne. The locals out of Wayne that work west are B90 and L15 I have heard both running to willow run, it depends on the day. B90 is just the extra local for the line as they are also called out of Jackson. I don't know about L16, but I do not think there is a B30 or 63T (63T would be an extra coil train into Wayne)

Does NS still get any AutoRack traffic out of Wayne?

They have been using the ramps on the "NS" side if the plant, as well as storing auto racks in willow run. If there is a train on NS I don't know the symbol. (Auto racks could be added to 39e at Wayne, the train is stopped ad yarded at Wayne after its run to Jackson)

Amtrak is your best bet (check out of Dearborn station using Amtrak app, Amtrak.com, or 1-800-USA-RAIL) the locals are called anytime but seem to be called in the afternoon evening more often. 60T/61T are afternoon/ evening trains I believe. 38E/39E call Wayne in the evening and get a crew change (not sure when they are east of Wayne)

The coil trains are 60T and 63T. 60T are loads going to Wayne and 63T are the empties from Wayne.

Safe to assume that the times the Amtrak trains pass Gulley Rd is 15-20 minutes +/- the Dearborn station time depending on the direction the Amtrak train is traveling.
