This is CSX eastbound Q108 with BNSF power
doing the honors. Notice the orange air-conditioner on the second unit.
Doesn't seem to match that beautiful warbonnet scheme.
Here is a NS westbound(north)train M85 just
passing the station. The second UP unit is one of those AC44/60CW's#7027.
Here is a CSX westbound just passing CP101
with an ex.Con SD60M and C36-7. Better catch the shots of those old boats
because they may be gone before we know it.
Here is the newly painted EL caboose. It
really looks neat on the rear end of the local. This is in the Kenton Ave.
Yard in Marion.
This is train L368 goin around the
connection track and it appears to have some lease units from FURX and CEFX.
I just love SD45's and CEFX did make them look sharp.
This is Q598 again on another day. CSX also
seemed to put older power on this train too, which doesn't bother me a bit.
Here it is head westbound(north)just hitting the Marion-Wyandot county line
and just in front is the east end(south)of Harpster siding. Looks like
B36-7's doing the honor today.
This is the X147 just coming off the
connection heading westbound(north)toward Fostoria and just passing MD tower
at the Fairground St. crossing in Marion.
This was the sole yard power and local power
for a week! It was awsome seeing this MP15AC switching the Marion
industries.
This is train Q598. It goes from
Indianapolis to Chicago, but since there was track work on the old MONON it
had to come east to Marion go up around the connection then west out of
Fostoria to get to Chicago. It offered some good power though. The train
is just west of Marion on Route.95. Here's the info as follows:
