That makes sense. I examined the record more carefully, and 6 of the 16 trains listed did not change crews at Kent. None of the ones that did consumed more than 8 1/2 hrs Marion-Meadville. Looks like the i/d agreement didn't save the RR much money, at least not that month. It was January, so maybe a lot of the i/d guys had the flu.

  The Inter divisional Agreement went into effect in February, 1969.  The fact that 2/100 was changing crews in Kent may have indicated that an Interdivisional crew was not available in Marion when the train was ordered, the train was delayed enroute due to derailment, crossing accident or other reasons.  The 100's were Interdivisional trains, but on occasion---they operated in the short (or Divisional) pool.
