Larry, reading again the Erie Magazine article we learn this:
2 trains (91 from Marion to Dayton, 98 from Dayton to Marion). There could be second trains.
Ran 4 times per week, alterning. Most were night trains, except the second 98.
There was a local way freight between Dayton and Urbana that switched most industrial plants in the area.
Also, when I look at pictures in the article, I find out they switched facing point sidings too (at least in Durbin). That means they has to make a runaround move. Explains why it took so much time at that particular location. Morning Sun books has published the entire photo report in their Erie books, it's in volume 2.
