Hey railroadfans!
I am planning to go to Detroit tonight, so where should I go to see some stack trains and mixed freight? I appreciate the help

The "D" is kinda big, can you narrow it down ( i.e. when / where / time. ) .

Delray or Romulus seem to be the busiest spots if number of trains is what you're looking for.

Romulus - Good mixture of CSX, NS, and CP action. Great in the morning (especially weekends), but dead in the evening.
Plymouth - Good local operation and certain road trains can be very random (Which can be good or dull on any given day). Best times are 10am-2pm and 4:30pm-9pm on weekdays.
Delray - Best place for train volume and variety, but the neighborhoods around it are rough.
