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.

Since its inception in 1987, Montana Rail Link, which handles BNSF Railway trains between Laurel, Montana and Spokane, along with its own trains, has always been one of the largest and most interesting of the new crop of regional railroads. And today it is the favorite Regional in a Trains Magazine poll. Twenty-two years since its inception fans still flock to the MRL to see the venerable SD40’s still used in helper duty and the four year old SD70ACes in spectacular mountain and forest scenery.   And thanks to the growth in grain and coal traffic provided by BNSF, Montana Rail Link today handles more tonnage than predecessors Burlington Northern or Northern Pacific ever ran through the Rockies on this track. This program shows two and half days of action on the former Northern Pacific and Burlington Northern, now Montana Rail Link main line on both sides of spectacular Mullan Pass west of Helena in September of 2009.  “Montana Rail Link on Mullan Pass” is 86 minutes in length and sells for $32.95 plus $5 for S&H. This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.
