My work parking lot lies next to a set of rails that only short southbound trains use every day. There is a railyard in Frankfort Indiana, on the east end of that yard, there is a switch to allow short trains, only about 15 or 20 cars to be pushed north to the dead end, then a locomotive to be hooked up, the switch thrown again to allow this train to go southbound. It then leaves Frankfort enroute past my work parking lot in Lebanon Indiana, turns towards Indianapolis, past the Indy 500 track, then I'm guessing towards Indianapolis or the other way towards St. Louis Mo.. My question is, what frequency would they be using in that loco? I'm not sure what type of daily train it would be, but over the last year, there has never been more than 15 cars daily. I dont even know if they are empty or not. Generally there are black soy bean cars, flat cars, but never any box cars. For locomotives, I've never seen Chessie, BNSF, or the one with the black stallion. I'll bet one of you experienced railfans might be able to help me out. Thanks Harley kc9gld
