Re: How many trains go through Ypsilanti

Re: Carleton, MI railfan meet
Why start so late?
Whether 1 or 100 foamers show up, the host should arrive around sunrise.
With train counts being at an all time low, other activities other than sitting by the tracks to make time pass may also help with attendance with emphasis on food, drink, and tourism.
