| Post subject: | Surviving EMD GP28 and SD28 |
IC/ICG owned 13 of the handful of GP28s built, buying 12 new (9429-9440) and "inheriting" another (9441)through merger. These never went through the Paducah rebuild program and ending up being sold off to shortlines, industrials, and dealers. Some have since been resold, some more than once. I know IC 9429 and 9436 ended up on the Fordyce & Princeton or one of that family of lumber roads. Many of the others went to the start-up CC&P and were scattered from there, some going through Kyle ownership. Do any of these remain in service or out of service anywhere, and if so, which ones? I do not expect any of them to be museum fodder. Second, ICG got 2 SD28s in the merger with GM&O from the Columbus and Greenville. These eventually became ICG 9450-9451. I believe one of these was wrecked and scrapped as a result, but what about the other one? Is it still out there someplace or is it razor blades? Thanks for any info . |

According to these posts at RR Picture Archives, 9450 ended up parked in the dead lines at National Railway Equipment in Silvis, Ill. for over a decade: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locopi ... ?id=108647 9451: "Built in September 1965 as CAGY 702 (c/n 30705) on EMD Order 5693, it became ICG 9451, was wrecked September 29, 1989, and was sold to NRE August 17, 1992." http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=2016154 |
