No idea on the symbols, especially since so many will be unit trains - oil, ethanol, coal, etc.

As for volume, there should be:

10+ Amtraks: Lake Shore Limited, Capitol Limited, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Port Huron services to MI
CSX: Probably around 40 per day
NS: Probably around 50 per day
CN: Probably about 20 movements per day

Lots of foreign power and locals in the area too. Maybe IHB to Burns Harbor. Tough place to park though.
