At a coal mine in Kentucky in 2006: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 6_1246.jpg http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 7_1249.jpg Captions do not say where. Odd exhaust in the latter photo. |

Might these be ex-Illinois Central units? Anyone know? Les |

Yes, I believe these are IC units. They are at a coal operation in Western Kentucky that is now isolated from live rail due to the abandonment of part of the former IC line in Kentucky. Last I heard, at least one is operational, and sometimes a local NRHS chapter is invited out to run the locomotive on the mine trackage. Of course, this is only what I've heard, it could be wrong. |
