GM&O 705 |
| Description: |
Uncharacteristic for ICG, this GP38 was running long-hood first on the local through Belleville. This location may not look familiar, but this is the same spot where at least one intrepid soul got some high perspective shots of IC/CN trains in more recent years. Those were from atop a nearby hospital parking garage that had not been built yet in 1979. |

GM&O 511 |
| Description: |
A grimey black and white locomotive, but I guess you could call it colorful in other ways. Thats some mighty crafty application of electricians tape. |

GM&O 718 |
| Description: |
A not uncommon sight back in those days: GM&O colors in the midst of an ICG lash-up. This one is just rolling off the Kaskaskia River bridge in New Athens. |

GM&O 914 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central Gulf was great fun in the early 1980s. You really never knew what you might get on any given train - often Paducah re-builds, sometimes IC "green diamond" Geeps, or, as in this case, GM&O units still wearing original colors and numbers. Here an SD40 has the point on an eastbound crossing the (then) brand-new Kaskaskia River bridge at New Athens, IL. |

GM&O 908 |
| Description: |
Probably the filthiest, grimiest locomotive I'd ever seen, this was certainly the last GM&O unit I ever recorded. Found in the UP yard at Chouteau Ave in St. Louis, it was in a string of units headed for new owners...or scrappers. |
