ICG 6004 |
| Description: |
OK, this one is not in Southern Illinois. This unit coal train is on the Missouri Pacific heading estbound into St. Louis. ICG ran coal drags on MOP from Kansas City to power plants in Illinois. Even though those plants are in the middle of Illinois coal mining country, they had to import low-sulphur coal from Wyoming to meet EPA requirements. |

ICG 3019 |
| Description: |
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! |

IC 9353 |
| 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. |

IT 2001 - before the trails |
| Description: |
Just viewed Tracy Bones Rails to Trails album. Good stuff - nice photos of IT and NKP relics along the bike trails that have replaced the Rights Of Way in the Edwardsville, IL area. Felt compelled to post a shot of what Edwardsville and LeClair Junction looked like back in the day. Here IT 2001 leads a manifest freight through the jct. Power is pretty consistent with the way they ran in those days: grab every able-bodied unit in the yard to come up with enough power for the next train. |

Old Rock Island Geeps never die |
| Description: |
Id forgotten I had shots of this old-timer. Half the roster of the Kaskaskia Regional Port District rail operation, this ex-Rock Island low-nose GP9 use to run 40-car coal trains from the KRPD #2 dock and interchange with GM&O/ICG in New Athens to the power plant in nearby Baldwin. The trains could be no more than 40 cars long as that was the capacity of the siding at the dock. Last I heard, this Geep (now in blue paint) still switches the #2 dock. |

GM&O 914 |
| Description: |
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. |
