IC 6128

A pair of black shrouded with "Death Star" nose logos sit in the Mobile, AL yard alone in this panoramic view. No photographer was listed for the photo which is now in my rr collection.

The prominent "Death Start" or "I-Ball" nose logo shows clearly on IC SD40-2 #6128 while it sits in the Jackson MS yard. History - EMD, 3/1976, nee-BN 6737 > IC 6737 > IC 6128 > MALX 6128. The color slide was from the Conniff collection and is now in my collection.

The black shroud paint scheme sure does stand out against a daytime blue sky but it would blend into the nighttime fairly easily - not a safety-wise choice but definitely a cost-wise one, IMHO. History - EMD, 3/1976, nee-BN 6737 > IC 6737 > IC 6128 > MALX 6128. The color slide was from the Conniff collection and is now in my collection.

IC SD40-2 #6128 is in the lead of this freight train at the Jackson MS Yard with sister IC D40-2 #6105 trailing. History - EMD, 3/1976, nee-BN 6737 > IC 6737 > IC 6128 > MALX 6128. The color slide was from the Conniff collection and is now in my collection.
