It's around 12 per day in Adrian, up to 14 on a good day.

For some advice, I'd suggest when you want to inquire on an area to railfan you're new to, just start out by saying "I'd like to railfan here. How busy is this line?" This way at least you won't keep posting old information. Another good add-on for familiars would be "Where's a spot I can park at where I'm not breaking a parking law?" You may also ask "Is there a certain time frame where traffic might be busiest?" keeping in mind [freight] trains don't always run a set schedule. Some may show in their general time frame or even late with whatever's going on. It wouldn't be much, and you'd simply just wait out anyone to reply on their time and possibly give you a proper list as long as they're keen on the traffic through said location.

878, 879, 881 and 883 don’t run through Adrian. 26G and 29Q are symbols elsewhere on the NS and many other ID’s have been abolished/changed origin and destination.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe CP 132 and 133 are the two trains that run on CSX via Buffalo, NY as well, so you won't be seeing those in Adrian. Last I heard their symbols are Q165 and Q166 on CSX.
