Five locomotives, wearing four different paint schemes, were gathered around the engine house at the Illinois Central Gulf’s MAYS YARD, just west of New Orleans. In the front were GP38 713, still in its original Gulf Mobile & Ohio colors, coupled to ICG GP40 3039. Behind them were solid orange GP10 8229 with orange-and-gray GP11 8708, and behind them was a glimpse of an unidentified orange-and-white loco. |
