On June 5th, 2011, John Puda and I headed for Marion, OH, where we were later joined by NS engineer Dave Mangold. At Marion, two CSX lines and an NS line all converge in one large interlocking. Traffic here is almost nonstop, and on our visit was no exception! With nice sunny weather conditions, some foreign power and shots of the remaining C&O signals thrown into the mix, this was one successful day! Enjoy!
