A short compilation of trains in the downtown area of Royal Oak, MI. Royal Oak is on the CN Holly sub between Pontiac and Detroit. There are 6 daily Amtrak trains, and multiple CN freights through this town. The Holly sub splits right through the downtown area with lots of roads crossing the tracks, giving an abundance of horn action. 8 total crossings are within less than a mile, and 6 of them are within a half mile! We will be visiting Royal Oak and watch trains pass by the 6 crossings within the half mile in Royal Oak. We will be going northward, visiting the streets of:
Lincoln Ave
Main St
6th St
5th St (pedestrian crossing)
4th St
Washington Ave
We will also be visiting the station for angles of trains cutting the downtown in half from the distance.
