The ion processes subsequent to the initial production of metal atomic ions and electrons in meteor trains are examined. The set of diffusion equations describing the behavior of the various ion species is solved numerically yielding the concentrations of ions expected to be present in an expanding meteor train. The importance of enhanced electron-ion recombination due to molecular positive ion formation and the role of negative ion chains forming a sink for electrons are emphasized.
