Old Rock Island Geeps never die
Title:  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.

Rough day for 9214
Title:  Rough day for 9214
Description:  ICG didnt always have the best record for doing regular track maintenance -- at least not in the St. Louis area. That caught up to them on a winter day in 1980 when this GP9 and a half-dozen cars took a tumble from a westbound freight in Belleville.

IC 9353
Title:  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.
