Marion - Ohio's Trainwatching Capital DVD

When the main lines of four railroads crossed at Marion in the 1970's, fans there called their town "The Trainwatching Capital of Ohio".  Today three busy lines of CSX and Norfolk Southern still cross at grade in Marion and with the Conrail split, the number of trains is nearly as many as in 1970.  The busiest line in Marion today is the NS line from Columbus to Bellevue which crosses CSX's Toledo to Columbus line and the former Conrail Indianapolis Line from Cleveland to St. Louis, now owned by CSX.  This video shows all the NS and CSX trains through Marion for 24 hours in August of 2000.  Three DVD, two tape set.  Four hours, 10 minutes.
