MI roundhouse
Title:  MI roundhouse
Description:  Please pardon the darkness- this is the five-stall MI roundhouse located just southwest of Sparta IL, which is where they filmed a portion of the movie "In the Heat of the Night". This is the location where Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Portier) is cornered by a group of locals. MP GP18 532 is seen in front of it.

By request
Title:  By request
Description:  Always cool to get a request for photos. After posting a shot last week from ICGs old Sparta branch, I got a request for more along that line as they are quite rare. Turns out they are quite rare in my collection as well. This is the only one I could come up with. Not really one of my favorites, but it is one of the few I have with a GP8 on the point. This one is at North Jct. in Sparta.
