| Description: |
There was no difficulty identifying the previous owners of these Illinois Central Gulf GP7's at the former Gulf Mobile & Ohio engine terminal in Mobile. ICG 19 and 70 were originally Reading 619 and Frisco 615, and they were subsequently outshopped as GP8's 7913 in September 1977 and 7732 in September 1976. |

ICG Grain Train (1) |
| Description: |
Illnois Cenral Gulf GP10 8216, SD40 6056 and U33C 5058 were on a southbound grain train crossing the bridge across Pass Manchac, Louisiana. The new concrete structure was completed in 1972 and replaced the wooden trestle next to it. The train will have to reverse direction in Kenner, just west of MAYS YARD, to get to one of the grain elevators along the Mississippi River, so it has a caboose on each end. The 199510 is behind the engines and the 199596 is on the rear. |

Grain Train |
| Description: |
An interesting assortment of locomotives lead a southbound grain train across Pass Manchac, about 40 miles north of New Orleans. When this photo was taken, grain trains usually ran with a caboose on each end, as the power had to run around the train in Kenner before heading up the former Y&MV line to the elevators along the Mississippi River. |

IC 13 |
| Description: |
IC SW1R 13 was switching the McKesson Chemical Co. along Leake Avenue in New Orleans. The locomotive had been built in June 1946 as IC 9027, and was renumbered 612 in October 1953. The railroad extensively rebuilt the locomotive in October 1968, replacing ius 6-cylinder 600-horsepower prime mover with an 8-cylinder 1,000-horsepower one, and renumbered it 13. It was to be the prototype for the rebuilding of the IC's entire freet of SW1's, which would have been renumbered 1-17; but it was the only one done. It spent its later life in New Orleans, and was retired in 1988. |

It wore its IC black paint scheme well into the ICG era, and was repainted into the unusual -- and perhaps unique -- black ICG scheme in mid-1981. It also received full-length handrails at the same time. The unit was sold c. 1986. |

ICG Piggyback Power |
| Description: |
At 5 PM on a Saturday afternoon a trio of Illinois Central Gulf units - GP40 3033, GP38-2 9602 ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and GP40R 3104 - were southbound at Eagle Street, on their way from Mays Yard to the railroad's intermodal facility at Stuyvesant Docks Yard to pick up an outbound piggyback train. For about 25 years the locomotives for the IC and ICG piggyback trains would run light between Mays Yard, where the units were serviced, and the intermodal terminal (and vice versa); but this practice was eliminated by fueling the engines on the southbound train at McComb and then letting the power sit at Stuy Docks Yard. The two tracks on this side of the engines belonged to the New Orleans Public Belt, and the empty space in the foreground had accommodated two NOPB-KCS interchange tracks which were removed around 1980. |

IC Piggyback Power |
| Description: |
At 9:30AM on this bright Sunday morning Illinois Central GP40R 3105, GP38 9534 anj GP38-2 9571 had delivered an intermodal train to the railroad's IMX (Intermodal eXchange) along the Mississippi River at STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD and were returning to MAYS YARD where the crew would gn off duty and the geeps would be serviced. In the early evening, a crew would go back on duty and deadhead back to the IMX for the northbound run. This long-standing practice was eliminated a few,years later by fueling the units on the southbound train a McComb, and then leaving them at the IMX until departure. The geeps were crossing the New Orleans Public Belt at SOUTHPORT JUNCTION, but about six years later the NOPB installed a connection here$with the IC and the crossings were eliminated. |

IC DOCK JOB |
| Description: |
Illinois Central GP38-2 9628, originally the ICG GRENVILLE M. DODGE, was on the DOCK JOB bringing cars from the railroad’s MAYS YARD to STUYVESANT DOCKS YARD and the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad. The shot was taken at Dakin Avenue, near the line between Orleans and Jefferson parishes. The Norfolk Southern piggyback car behind the locomotive was rebuilt from a boxcar, while the track in the foreground was once the Kansas City Southern’s connection with the NOPB. |

| Description: |
IC SW9 1244Illinois Central (Gulf) SW9 1244 was stopped at the south end of Baton Rouge Yard, and that's the Louisiana state capitol behind the cab. The locomotiIe was built in June 1951 as IC 9446, was renumbered 446 so that the 9400-series could be used for GP18's, and then renumbered 1244 when it was equipped for multiple-unit operation. It was rebuilt as ICG SW14 1449 the year after this photo was taken. |

An ICG unit coal train was on the Nashville Avenue underpass as it entered the New Orleans Public Belt's Cotton Warehouse Yard. The coal was on its way from Illinois to Spain, and the NOPB would move the train to the Public Bulk Terminal -- along the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet -- for unloading. Motive power was provided by four PADUCAH REBUILDS: SD20's 2014, 2017, and 2011, along with GP8 7731. |
