Rebuilds
Title:  Rebuilds
Description:  IC in the late 70s and 80s was not flush with cash, and as a result used a lot of rebuilt older power, done by the world class shop forces at Paducah KY, and those units ran on everything. Here we see a pair with a pig train coming into Chicago.

Shop and a turntable
Title:  Shop and a turntable
Description:  This was the scene from the departing Sunset going past the IC yard. Active turntables were becoming uncommon by this time, so it was a surprise to see one.
