I am planning to railfan in Dover this Friday morning, and I would like to know how much frequency the Morristown and Erie Line gets in Dover.

Well it's hit or miss... The M&E has been avaraging once a week on this line, and they IIRC, ran last Friday. Today is Tuesday and there has been no run yet, so you have a possibility of catching it. As for time, its been very odd... either 9-10 AM, or 1-3 PM.
If the M&E is still following the holiday schedule they observed when I worked there they will not be operating at all on Friday as it was a contractual holiday and almost all of their customers' plants were closed as well. It would be best to give them a call. In general they serve the line twice a week as needed with no set days.
