IC GP9 9054 |
| Description: |
A trio of black Illinois Central units - GP9's 9054 and 9313 along with GP40 3003 - had uncoupled from a southbound ICG train at Hammond, Louisiana and run down to the depot so a crewman could exchange some paperwork with the agent there. The track on the right was the south leg of the wye, and up until 1971 this line ran all the way to Covington. (approximate day) |

| Title: |
IC Geeps |
| Description: |
Illinois Central geeps 9054, 9313 and 3003 were backing onto their southbound train (on the left) after having run down to the Hammond depot to exchange some paperwork with the agent. The trainman next to the middle unit would throw the switch for the line to Baton Rouge as soon as the engines pass. The passenger cars on the left belonged to the Southeast Louisiana Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, while the geep on the right was the Hammond Switcher. This photo was taken about 20 months after the IC-GM&O merger, but this still looked just like the IC! (approximate date) |
