[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 826332, member: 10543"] The Illinois Central's passenger trains were painted in a beautiful chocolate and orange scheme, but as the years wore on, the IC fell upon hard times. It was to merge with the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio RR, change its name to the Illinois Central Gulf RR and sell of many of its secondary lines. What remains of its lines between Chicago and New Orleans are owned by Canadian National today. I found a tired and faded IC 8271 at Tuscaloosa, AL in April 1984. [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1984-04 008b Tuscaloosa AL - for upload.jpg"]412371[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
