Thank you, Nick! I also have a real interst in the IHB. I've lived in the Hammond area most of my 55 years and like so many others who see something almost daily I just took them for ganted. 2 years ago that changed. One of my main projects this past year has been documenting IHB's roster with Bill Gustason ("Chicago Rail Junctions" website and IHB roster on "The Diesel Shop" site) - not only the new (rebuilt) locos and the leasers but the vintage units as well - especially the NW2s - that are slowly disappearing. Some of them have been around for as long as I have. #9202 may also be on borrowed time; she'll either be rebuilt or disposed of. Mike R.
