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

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.

288 comes north on the Detroit Line and goes into Oakwood so that really doesn't count. L63 is a local as well.Jeff L wrote:No times, but a rundown:

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.

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