Remarks & Notes

ICG 5050 and IC 5058 are paired up at Markham Yard engine facilities in their late 60s "modern" IC dreamsicle color scheme. Rare units on the IC/ICG, this color scheme was one of several colorful contemporary schemes of the late 60s era that started with GN Big Sky Blue, included CP Action Red and culminated with Chessie System blue/orange/yellow. Brigth colors during a dark time for the industry.
