I Think the busiest line in the West is Union Pacific's North Platte route, through Bailey Yard. I can see upwards of 120 trains in a 24 hour period. BNSF's transcon is a close second though. As for the east, that's an easy one. It would be the NS Chicago line between Pittsburgh and Chicago. Formerly known as the Water-Level Route, the NS side sees as many as 80 or 90 trains in a day. The second busiest in the east is CSX's side of the Water-level Route which sees 65-75 trains per day at it's busiest points.
