Best times to fan the wabash?

[JANGAJONGA]

Could someone give me a general rundown on the trains on the Wabash and at what times would i likely to see more trains?

[MagnumForce]

Mornings are generally the best as they tend to fleet the CP trains.

[CharlieX90]

More like during the night. I just saw 8 trains on the Wabash West of Detroit in a few hours time including 2 CP's with some pretty insane power.

[TrainWatcher]

The rundown of what your likely to see between 7am-4pm:


CP 22T
CP 23T
CP 25T
CP 36T
CP Ethanol/Crude Oil/Rack Extras
NS 171
NS 289
NS L60/64
NS 196 occasionally
NS 260/264

And if you hit Romulus that does not count all of the CSX trains Jack.

I heard the same was the case today with a couple unit tank trains. SOO, ICE, DME, etc.

Indeed the ethanols are your only hope for good power on CP through here now.

288 comes north on the Detroit Line and goes into Oakwood so that really doesn't count. L63 is a local as well.

What is "good power"?

I've usually caught a train or two per hour in the morning, 9-11am or so, when I've stopped at Romulus.

EMD power like SOO SD60,CP SD60 along with ICE and DME.

Also,there is no 24T

[GTW6401]

There is a 29T, which is CP 147.

The best time to 'fan the Wabash is the best time to 'fan anywhere, three hours after sunrise and three hours before sunset.
