Ok, If anyone has ideas where I can find pics of locos from say 1950-1966 when the IC used the green diamond logo I could use 'em! My dad worked on the IC during this era, and goes on and on about the green diamond. I thought it would be great do do a loco in that scheme as a present for him, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding pics. Specifically, I want pics of geeps, that would have been used for yard work. Dad was a switchman and tells great stories of working the hump yards. smile.gif

Try having a dig through the archives at www.rr-fallenflags.org (http://www.rr-fallenflags.org) ...it's often a good place to start researching a particular railroad.

Here's a couple to get you started.

When you get to the IC Locomotives page, the 9000 series page looks like it has rich pickings in what you want!
