Title:  GM&O 913
Description:  Former Gulf Mobile & Ohio SD40 913 and other Illinois Central Gulf locomotives awaited their next assignments at Mays Yard, just west of New Orleans. Beyond the 913 were GP38-2 9607, GP11 8705 in the rare solid-orange paint scheme, and GP10 8213; while GP40 3027 was on a nearby track. The 913 was wrecked in 1984, and never received its intended ICG number of 6062.

ICG Mays Yard
Title:  ICG Mays Yard
Description:  The Illinois Central only owned 10 U33C's, units 5050-5059 built in 1968. The 5055 was wrecked and retired in 1969, so here were one-third of the existing fleet - the 5058! 5054 and 5050 - together at Mays Yard with former GM&O SD40 914. The three GE's were retired in 1984 and sold for scrap, but the 914 survived much longer as ICG ane then IC 6063.

GM&O 914
Title:  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.

Southern Railfans
Title:  Southern Railfans
Description:  A couple of months before the Illinois Central–Gulf Mobile & Ohio merger a couple of railfbns from the south end of the GM&O (Jim Selzer from Slidell and Earl Hampton from New Orleans) headed north to document the railroad before it disappeared. Here, Jim Selzer was observing the engines at the railroad’s shop in Venice, Illinois. Of particular interest was the 950, which had been built as EMD SD40 prototype 434, on an SD35 frame. It was unique on the GM&O and had been purchased in July 1966 to replace wrecked GP35 614. The GM&O and the ICG may be gone, but the 950 lives at the Monticello Railway Museum as IC 6071. (approximate date)
