Plymouth Diamond seems to be a local favorite, despite the fact that you can't actually get to the diamond itself.  You can still get some good shots, but you can also miss trains if positioned in the wrong spot... It's sort of like railfanning Tower 26 in Houston... you just can't be everywhere trains might show up!

There used to be another webpage for Plymouth Diamond, but when looking for info on it and the area, I didn't turn up much thru the "G" search engine.

CSX will call the local cops to enforce the no trespassing signs posted, as they did for me back in2000 or so when I was parked near the the cement plant.  They also gave me grief about my hand held scanner, but were nice enough to allow me to put it in the trunk, showing them my out of state license.  I since took care of that by getting a 2m HT with a high band scanner built in, but somewhere I thought I read that the law has been repealed.
