A shot from back in Sep 2000, a pair of IC GP40's wait at Kankakee IL.

i use to see that sign several times a week as that was the line i ran while going to chicago from decatur on the ns, we had trackage rights from gibson city to chicago on the ic. when travelling on the ic you sure get a feeling of older railroading, lots of jointed rail, old structures, OLD cars.

We didn't see anything move while we were in Kankakee, but those GP40's were sat on a spur there with a short train of tank cars, so I shot a "walkround" of them...

It's amazing, but there wasn't much of the loco that you could call black from closeup, lots of browns & reds, various greys...

If anyone wants me to post more pics of them, let me know. smile.gif

Unfortunately I realised *after* I'd left that I should have walked down & shot the caboose as well....

You can just about make out where the white & orange used to meet...

Martyn, Nice shots! With your permission I would like to use that first shot on a safety site that Johnnytrains and I are building up: http://rush2ny.100megsfree5.com/mrrtsb.html
You would get full credit , of course!

Happy railroading!

Russ, no problem. Does that version meet your needs or do you want me to email one to different specs/sizes? Let me know.

I have shots of 3107 as well, will post soon... smile.gif

Martyn,

That shot is perfect! Should you have any other photos of safety related items, especially over in the UK, I would be interested as well.

Thank-you!
