Yes they do change crews at Vickers. Quite a bit depends upon traffic, as trains do get backed up near the train station, where NS has its offices. Another reason for changing crews there is if the train is going to be laid up for any sort of time. That would be the best place in the Toledo area to stick a train anywhere on the Water Level Route that might not move for several hours. The other reason I can think of is bridge operations. If a freighter is inbound/outbound at the grain terminal, and the train is westbound, the crew can still get there by crossing the Maumee on either freeway.
