If you're talking about Stafford, and you went during the afternoon on a weekday, then you could see around 15-ish in 3 hours, if last summer's anything to go by. Not much freight at all goes through Crewe station these days, most uses the avoiding line just to the west of Crewe station, but it's not much cop if you want to take photos. I'd definitely recommend Stafford!
Happy New Year!
