UP & BNSF Trains on the UP Marion Subdivision in Southern Illinois - November 9, 2024

In early November, fellow railfan and close friend Rylin (‪@RKRail2158‬) and myself set out on an adventure to Union Pacific's Marion Subdivision in the heart of Southern Illinois. The Marion Subdivision was once a major gateway for coal traffic from many coal mines to the coal-fired power plants in deep Southern Illinois & Western Kentucky around Paducah. Over the years, as coal traffic began to decrease, less trains traverse the Marion Subdivision each day. However, south of Marion, BNSF's Beardstown Subdivision joins the Marion Subdivision at Neilson Junction to send their trains towards Paducah, Kentucky, which can provide a variety of trains to see. In this video, we will see three trains recorded at various locations on the Marion Subdivision between Benton & West Vienna, Illinois.
