Hah, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, just wait and something will come
along. Denison St is the main north line so plenty of trains rattle up and
down along it. If you want more info, try asking at the station to find out
what freights might be kicking around. When I was there last July, I saw a
number of trains every day. Most memorable one was sitting in the Irish pub
at night drinking Guinness and watching a stock train wander past. 
There are at least 3 pubs in Denison St, but beware of the one near the
station, it's the country and Western one (shuddeerrrrrrrrr)
