If it's a passenger only line running near you, a schedule from that railway should give you an approximate idea.
If it's a freight-only line, or mixed, it's a crap shoot. I'd advise getting a police scanner, and programming it with the appropriate end-to-end channel of the railway. This will give you some warning when some trains are getting close.
The only other way is just like fishing: sit trackside, and play the waiting game.

Look in the phone book, call Amtrak they should be able to tell you the times and the online name to type in for scheduling.

Go to your nearest Station or Depot and ask for a workbook this lists passing times

take a stand by the tracks and write down what you see be very careful of being on railroad property since 9/11 railroad police ain;t too friiendly and they will take you to jail

Find a schedule for whatever passenger line.
And find correct timing(your desire).
Bring a camera and/or video camera.
