GMO 601
Title:  GMO 601
Description:  A gloomy day and a dark locomotive make for exposure problems, but it was always worth the trip to find some GM&O units in the yard.

ICG 7963
Title:  ICG 7963
Description:  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.

GMO 630
Title:  GMO 630
Description:  ICG used to keep units (typically 3) on the ready track at the River King coal mine #1 in Freeburg, IL to put together trains and haul them westbound to the yard in Venice. For a while, these units tended to include lots of GM&O power. Here GP35 630 idles on a late winter afternoon.
