CRIP GP38-2 #4330 - Chicago, Rock Island & PacificIntere
Title:  CRIP GP38-2 #4330 - Chicago, Rock Island & PacificIntere
Description:  Interesting lashup of blue & white Rock Island GP38-2's. CRIP #4330 was built in October of 1976 by EMD. After the collapse of Rock Island, this loco went onto the UP roster and then GMTX roster. As of August of 2021 from photos in the RRPA database, this loco was still running the rails as GMTX #2139. No date- location or photographer was listed for this photo.

IC Business Car #7, "Doonin"
Title:  IC Business Car #7, "Doonin"
Description:  Interesting history to this Illinois Central car #7. It was built by Pullman in 1917 (serial #4466) as Illinois Central 17. It was renumbered 7 in 1940. The car was eventually sold as CM&N 7 "Doonin" around 1980 and painted in the orange/brown IC paint scheme. Later the car was resold to Thompson Farms Co 7 and again repainted. Eventually the business car was moved to the Monticello Railway Museum for display. It was restored as the orange/brown IC business car #7. I believe this photo by an unknown photographer fits into the history as still on the Illinois Central roster just before the sale to Chicago, Madison & Northern where it picked up the orange/brown paint scheme. No location was given. Can anyone confirm the location and ownership at this point in time?

CRIP U28B #245 - Chicago, Rock Isalnd!& Pacific
Title:  CRIP U28B #245 - Chicago, Rock Isalnd!& Pacific
Description:  Built by GE in March of 1966, CRIP U28B #245 lasted until the collapse of the Rock Island. Unfortunatly, no date, locatjon or photographer was given for this newly posted photo. I would suspect this photo was taken at the Silvis, IL shops area and at the end of the Rock Island. Note the scratched up number board. The last view of CRIP #245 in 1987 in the RRPA database shows it sitting abandoned in the Silvis, IL yard - faded, rusted and its engine doors stading open.
