KCS at Marion, Ohio 12/28/12
Author: columbusrailnut

Last night I went to Marion, Ohio to watch some trains. Spent most of the evening at the depot but we did make a trip out east to the intermodal facility to see a set of KCS engines leave.

Did he make the runaround move west of the diamonds to go up the C&O?

Wondering if there is any new info on when the Q106/Q107 goes back to being a straight St Louis move, and the new Q108/Q109 does the N Baltimore to Marion flip.

Any idea on schedules or power assignments? Wondering if the KCS power would be used on the flip. Thanks!

Thanks for the scoop.

Wonder if the KCS power will be used for 108/109, or a whole other set.

Either way, C&O days are numbered.

Yes, the engines ran around the train and headed north up the C&O. I have no idea where the power from this train comes from however I have always heard it often has KCS engines, this is the first time I have seen the KCS power on it.
