This 33’ twin bay
hopper with offset sides is painted black with orange herald and white reporting
mark, and logo. It was built in March 1948, serviced in April 1974 and runs on
Bettendorf trucks. The Illinois Central Railroad was chartered in 1851 to build
a railroad from Cairo, IL, to Galena, IL. In 1972, the Illinois Central merged
with the parallel Gulf Mobile & Ohio to form Illinois Central Gulf. By 1990
the road was a trimmed and rationalized ‘Chicago-to-Gulf’ railroad, returned to
ownership by individual shareholders, and operational management by a team
of serious-minded railroad people. The name Illinois Central Railroad was restored. |
