Union Pacific Marion Subdivision Trains & Track Warrants - December 6, 2022

The Union Pacific plays a vital role in some of the rail operations in Southern Illinois. For 45 miles, the Union Pacific traverses over the former Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad mainline into the coal fields of Southern Illinois. This is known as the Marion Subdivision. On a cool & gloomy Tuesday, we find ourselves in the Marion area to see what we can find. A northbound coal train from the Cook Coal Terminal in Metropolis can be seen crossing the former Illinois Central (now Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railroad) diamond in downtown Marion on its trek back to Wyoming for another load of coal. Shortly after, we travel eight miles to the south of Marion to a point on the railroad called Neilson Junction. Here, is where BNSF's Beardstown Subdivision joins Union Pacific trackage for the remaining 15 miles to West Vienna. We find BNSF's local train from Centralia to Paducah, Kentucky making its way onto the Union Pacific. Track warrants is the way all trains operate over the Marion Subdivision. Track warrants are verbal instructions from the dispatcher in Omaha, Nebraska letting the train know where they are allowed to proceed to & from as well as any additional information such as, speed restrictions, train meets, and more.
