I was just going through an old issue of Diesel Era (11/12 1994). There's an article about Clinchfield F units. One unit, # 805 is listed as sold to ICG 5/80,...
PC probably owed per diem money to lots of railroads - maybe all of them. Most probably never saw their cash as a result of the bankruptcy. ... From:...
Which is part of the reason that so many other NE railroads crashed along with the PC. They did a lot of interchange with PC, did not get paid for the use of...
... Confirmed, service started on June 30th, 1955 between Chicago and Memphis. The modest start conisted of two trailers on IC flat 60834 handled by fast...
IC rebuilt the F-units for MBTA. IIRC, they wanted to rebuild E's for other commuter authorities. Also, some coal companies bought F- units, so ICG may have...
The ICG MACS Pointers dated 1/28/81 doesn't show the 805. Something's fishy. ICG rebuilt the GM&O F units for MBTA in 1977. By 1984 all ICG rebuild programs...

Being the last day of a two-week vacation I had some nervous energy to burn. I put it to good use and dug through my archives. As a result I've scanned and...
Behind or beside the Y&MV depot sit a couple of exIC cabeese. One is a wide vision, the other an old 28-foot side window (door) cupola type. I have heard this...
The cabooses have been there a while. The city has acquired the building and side window caboose and is working with the local NRHS society to create a museum....
My brothers confirmed this today. 6005 has been running in the area for a few weeks now. One brother saw a GTW-WC combo 5855 (RI unit) and 6005. IC GP40...
Contact Lamar Roberts at the Vicksburg Battle Museum. He's the leader and is waiting on grant money to continue the museum project in the old station. It's...
Jim; Great shots. I liked it all even the Omaha area stuff. Not to nitpick, you have a few places misidentified. I can provide updates on or off list. You have...
Jim; In your Paducah & Louisville shot of a GP35 in their scheme, there is a mystery. There is a GP35 trailing in ICG colors with dynamic brakes REMOVED. It...
Tim, I'm not sure if I have any others of this unit. Next time I get a chance to dig through some slides I see if I can find any shots of the suspect. Jim ......

I can't come across any pictures of the 2508, but here is the 2514 taken in 1982 with its dynamics blanked out. I never knew the ICG did this to their GP35's....
I have the new Dale Jenkins Illinois Terminal book (which is really cool, BTW) and in it he makes brief reference to the IT having electrified some small...
In general, wasn't IC or ICG looking at electrifying the main from Chicago to Memphis at some point? Maybe every class one was doing a study at some point,...
