A moment of poor judgement in the yard at Montgomery means 713 is headed for some shop time.

Southbound freight #29 led by two Gulf, Mobile & Ohio SD40's #905 and #911 near Bloomington, Illinois April 14, 1971.

GM&O Train #1, THE LIMITED, speeds south near Williamsville, Illinois, in October 1969.

A trio of RS-1s - the center unit in ICG orange and white - sits at the primitive engine servicing facility at West End Yard.

Its 567s already removed for transplanting into a pair of RS-1s, 101A will soon be towed to West End Yard, where it will spend a few weeks before heading to the scrapper.

Still in GM&O colors, 1051 rests in the Meridian yard, coupled to an Alco switcher. In the background is ICG GP30 522, in already faded ICG paint, but still with its GM&O number.

With a pair of each, F3's and F7's -- 812B, B80, B66, 834A -- GM&O's freight leaves Kansas City eastbound to cross Missouri to Roodhouse, Illinois where some of the tonnage may go to St. Louis an... (more)

Ex-GM&O 706 sits on the turntable at West End Yard with RS-1 1122 on one end, and IC's first GP38 on the other.

The Artesia train eases out of the north end of Montgomery's West End Yard, headed for Tuscaloosa, AL and Artesia, MS behind 706 and a quartet of Paducah rebuilds.

Two very different GM&O F-3A's are sunning themselves outside the ICG locomotive shop.

Four EMD units, 3 GP30s and a GP35, all riding on Alco trucks, are northbound toward St. Louis in the short days of the year and the sun sets quickly.
