The list below gives a feel of the Conrail action on a typical day at Marion in September 1987 based on the first seven days of the month.  Interesting to me is the midday parade of Avon (Indianapolis) trains; first outbounds INSY and INPI pass, and then inbounds PIIN, BUIN, and SEIN come in fairly quick succession.

Click on any train symbol to see the schedule in effect at that time.   Most trains, especially the priority trains, were pretty close to their scheduled time.  The times listed are the observed Marion departure times.  Extras are not included.
