| Illinois Central Gulf was great fun in the early 1980s. You really never knew what you might get on any given train - often Paducah re-builds, sometimes IC "green diamond" Geeps, or, as in this case, GM&O units still wearing original colors and numbers. Here an SD40 has the point on an eastbound crossing the (then) brand-new Kaskaskia River bridge at New Athens, IL. |
