when a  relieving crew would be called for a train due at some point to 
arrive at  Marion?

Terry, I can't speak directly about Marion, but the crews generally got a 2  
hour call, if at all possible.  They had to have time to get ready, eat,  pack 
a lunch and drive to the terminal.  Many crew members lived 30 minutes  or 
more away.
 
When a westbound train passed Stony Point we'd give Marion a 2 hour figure  
at Kent.  If it was an IDR crew they would not require a new crew at Kent,  but 
the Marion DS would have a ballpark figure and we'd always tell him when the  
train was by SN Jct as it took about 30-35 minutes to get to Kent.
 
With eastbound trains, we'd give Hornell a two hour figure when the  train 
was approaching WC Jct at Salamanca.
