The officers of the Illinois Central Gulf take a tour of the railroad between Chicago and New Orleans. Here, the train has just departed Central Station headed south. Although the company at this time is still officially the Illinois Central Gulf, plans were already underway to spin off the railroad from IC Industries and rename the railroad the Illinois Central. All this would come to pass a few months later in 1988.
