Yes having both 514 and 401 run both north and south really adds to the number of movements during the day. Also beneficial that most of the activity is occuring durng the day with late afternoon / evening being the busiest. A couple weeks ago, I counted 9 unique trains (12 movements if we double count the locals going north and south) throughout the day.

Definitely have come a long way since early 2010s. For the last 3 years I have been on the east side though being treated to varying amounts of traffic on the Mount Clemens Sub...
