There’s no street running in Parkersburg. If you are looking for Marietta, OH on the BIP, I’d say you would have a shot at it on Monday if they run to Relief. That should be in the morning if they go. There’s also the street running on CSX at St. Mary’s, WV north of Parkersburg, you would be able to get Q316 and Q317 there daily. For a while both trains were meeting at Bens Run north of St. Mary’s so it was possible to get both in the street within about an hour of each other around mid day.

Thanks for the response. It was probably St Mary's I was thinking about. I wasn't able to do a lot of research prior to my travels.
It turns out, we did end up in Marrietta for unexpected reasons and I made an effort to see the cabooses and other rail equipment on display. The were having a festival at the west end of the bridge in town, so we hung out a little longer. I heard a close horn and
Thought BPI was coming and I ran up the block to the street running. No dice. It must have been a train across the Ohio River.
