Eastern Railroad Discussion > Today at Marion, Ohio...

Just a couple from Marion, Ohio today. My friend and I actually met the man that is the designer/founder of the heritageunits.com site. Very cordial individual and the ironic thing is he has yet to see a Norfolk Southern Heritage unit. The only one he has seen is a Union Pacific one. Anyway hope you enjoy the pictures.

First picture is of the NS local with GP60 7133.
Second picture is of the CSX K429 with CN power.
Third picture is of Q106 (which was led by the KCS SD70ACe coming down the C&O) backing on to his train after running around it after making the connection to the Big Four line from the C&O. He will then run to the Marion Schneider Intermodal facility after picking up his train. Q106 did not arrive in Marion today until 1630.

Could not fit this on my previous post so I apologize. It seems as though the N&W signals are just not ready to stand aside for the new signals just yet. Still doing their work guiding trains with the new signals in the background ready to take over when the N&W ones give the ok. The new ones look ready to go once those covers are removed.

Wow, KCS all the way into Ohio...Good shots.

They are regulars on Q106/107.

Didn't know that at all. Do they usually make it further East? Haven't seen to many KCS engines running around NEOhio.

KCS is common power on trains Q106/Q107. From what previous posts have indicated these trains are usually in the morning. This one was seen at around 1630. The trains run to East St. Louis via the Big Four line.

Not a big CSX guy so thats good to know. Appreciate the feedback.

Nice series Carl. Good to see you get a shot of that N&W signal before it is gone forever.
