How many frames

Hi guys,
I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding how many frames are generated when packets are traverse through a network. Assuming the following setup, can you guys tell me if I'm right or wrong?
(Assume all cabling and routing are correct and router 2 to server 0 is a crossover)
pc0 - switch - router0 - router1 - router 2 - server0
Thought process:
1st frame: pc0 to router 0
2nd frame: router0 to router 1
3rd frame: router1 t router2
4th frame: router2 to server0

that's correct. each device is going to remove (for example) the ethernet frame when it's received, then re-encapsulate the packet in another frame when it's sent out to the next hop. assuming that's what you meant.

Adding an image as an example:
Please note: router 2 is in the middle(hence router names are not sequential from left to right)
1st frame: pc0 to router0
2nd frame: router0 to router2
3rd frame: router2 to router1
4th frame: router2 to server0
While I think I understand the concept, I still cannot sum it up this in a full sentence. Does anyone have a general rule about how frames are generated?
