Thanks!

[AMTK6908]

uhm, amazing?

[amtrakboy627]

I'm not getting you...

[Amtrakdavis22]

How many BNSFs do you see on an average day there? btw that was a good shot!

[amtrakboy627]

Thanks! On average? Depends how long you stay out there for.

[Amtrakdavis22]

From like 9am to 5pm.

[amtrakboy627]

I personally don't know. I'm guessing 15? Don't take that for a real answer. Supposidly, there are 70 trains that go through Merced every day. Which I'm assuming that includes the UP tracks also.

[Amtrakdavis22]

I'm pretty sure there aren't 70 because the diamonds at Stockton see 60 on a good day.

[amtrakboy627]

Idk. It might include locals too. Cause both UP and BNSF have a few...

[Amtrakdavis22]

Ya it could. The reason I asked is I might head down to Escalon or something where I can catch a lot of BNSF. I like BNSF.

[amtrakboy627]

Oh yeah that's a good place.

[Amtrakdavis22]

Ya I like BNSF. There I would get a lot of them. :)

In a 24hr period it averages to about 45 trains, counting Amtrak.
