Marion is the location of another passing siding, this one on a S-curve, as
well as a base for local MofW crews. The former passenger station here has
been renovated, and is used by local businesses, one of which is an
architectural firm that is designing the O. Winston Link museum in Roanoke,
VA. At the west end of the siding, there is a spur that is commonly used
for MofW cars and equipment, and also a tipple track used by the local
Southern States for off-loading feed. Marion was once the terminus of the
Marion & Rye Valley, a logging line that went to Troutville, VA.
