ICG 3055 |
| Description: |
This GP40 - seen here working the ICG/Conrail interchange in Effingham, IL - was built as IC 3055 in Feb 1967. In March 1982, it was sold to KCS where it became unit #791. It was later rebuilt to a GP40WH-2 and became MARC 65. By 9/2010 it was retired and would eventually end up in Boise, ID at Motive Power Industries. Who would have guessed back in '79 that it would have such a colorful history?. |

Always kind of liked this shot as a good illustration of 70s railroading. This ICG crew is working the Conrail interchange in Effingham, Illinois and, yes, there are three guys at the head-end and thats the conductor walking the train with a portable radio slung over his shoulder. No EOTDs or two man crews back in those days! |

| Description: |
Looking at this scene, you might well imagine it to be immediately post-merger with the Illinois Central Green Diamond geep leading the GM&O GP38. Only the trailing Paducah re-build suggest that it may be a bit later. It is, in fact, a full seven years and counting since the birth of Illinois Central Gulf as this freight rolls through Freeburg, Illinois the day after Christmas in 1979. |

I remember at the time often being disappointed to see a re-built GP8 or GP10 on the point of an ICG freight -- why not that cool GP40 right behind it? I suppose time changes your view. Now I appreciate them for the somewhat exotic - if not attractive - creatures they were. |

You could pretty much count on ICG to provide a fair amount of variety back in the day. This train rolled by the weather-beaten remains of the old passenger depot in Freeburg, IL with five units -- one GP8, one GP10, one GP11 (in the short-lived all orange paint scheme), a GP30, and a GP35 still wearing GM&O number and colors. ICG was nothing if not colorful back then. |

In the Fall of 86 I stumbled upon a string of SD40s in the MoPac/UP Chouteau Ave yard in Sy. Louis. For years I had assumed that they were bound for either re-sale or a more inglorious fate. Such was not the case, however, for ICG 6002. It would be re-built to an SD40-2R and continue to pPy the rails in IC black for another 20+ years. . |

Interesting locos |
| Description: |
There is a real beauty of a portrait of this lead GP40 by Andrew Koenigsberg (in his album Some misc. roster shots) from the Summer of 1978. Lets just say that by the Winter of 87, it was looking pretty rough. The 2nd unit is interesting not just because it is still in GM&O colors, but because there are two different stories about its eventual fate. One has it going to Goderich & Exeter 9543 (later re-numbered GEXR 3835), The other having it end up with NECR via Conrail and then Helm Leasing. Guess I'll need to look into that further.. |

Theres something you don't see anymore |
| Description: |
Wow, does anything say 1980s quite like the old Dodge Rampage? Always found them to be rather unfortunate looking vehicles myself. But speaking of not seeing it anymore, you certainly won't see this or any other railroad action in Red Bud, IL anymore. Rather surprised to find there are no other photos from this location. -- I know there are some out there. Here, an ex-GM&O geep trundles a local turn along the - now abandoned - ex-GM&O line past the ex-GM&O depot in the Spring of 87. |

By request |
| Description: |
Always cool to get a request for photos. After posting a shot last week from ICGs old Sparta branch, I got a request for more along that line as they are quite rare. Turns out they are quite rare in my collection as well. This is the only one I could come up with. Not really one of my favorites, but it is one of the few I have with a GP8 on the point. This one is at North Jct. in Sparta. |
