ICG Engine House
Title:  ICG Engine House
Description:  Illinois Central Gulf GP8 7705 was sticking out of the railroad's recently-constructed engine house at Bogalusa, which replaced a former GM&O loco shed at this same location. The former Bogalusa depot was on the other side of the geep, and the former freight house was behind the sand tower. A few years later, the railroad replaced this engine house with a new one south of here, at South Yard.
