Marion Industrial Center.
Title:  Marion Industrial Center.
Description:  The orange in the back belongs to Schneider trailers. They are loaded and unloaded in the intermodal center. Back in my day, the Advanced Croxton 99 would have work here. It was a hotshot UPS train. Also, at that time, the complex was part of the govt's General Services Administration, GSA for short.
