IC 8733 GP11
Title:  IC 8733 GP11
Description:  Monticello Railway Museum's Paducah Rebuild GP11 rests in one of the car barns. I always liked the look of the GP11's with the newer fabricated cabs added during the rebuild, I wish I'd seen these in revenue service, but I was born in 1990 100 miles from the IC. Perfect.
