Anyone have any information on the approximate frequency of trains, either on Sand Patch or east of Cumberland. Planning on a trip that way later this summer, and wondering about best days, times, etc.

Similar question - will be planning a July trip - how much traffic is there on a Saturday night?

It's a main line so I would expect decent amounts of traffic, although weekends may be lower than weekdays.

As for Saturday night, might be a bit dark for seeing the trains :)

I meant late afternoon, early evening, sunset-ish as well. :P
