ICG 9616 passes the depot |
| Description: |
Shot from west of the tracks on a RR owned road at MP208.9. The train is coming from Freeman Coal Crown III mine west of Farmersville, IL which opened in 1981 (about 10 miles south). The train is northbound with three ICG GP38-2s and one GM&O GP38-2 and a string of bathtub gons. This track was originally the Jacksonville Southeastern railroad. In 1899 the Illinois Central bought the railroad for the Madison Coal Corp. mine #6 in Divernon (it produced the most coal in the state between 1900 and 1930, it closed in 1925!). |

| Description: |
Gulf, Mobile & Ohio GP38-2 #750 was the first of five ordered by the GM&O (750-754 - GM&O's last ever order for new locmotives), but was delivered after the ICG merger had taken place in August 1972. It never ran on the railroad for which it was painted. Later, after becoming ICG 9570, this unit was wrecked and retired 3/22/1992. |
