An especially dirty Illinois Central SD40A 6011 sits outside the diesel shop at Mays Yard. The engine still has its L-shaped windshield and dynamic brakes, but has lost its Gyralight. Only 18 SD40A's were built, all for the IC in 1969 and 1970. They utilized the longer frame of the SDP45, so they could have 5,000-gallon fuel tanks. The switch engine in the background is SW1M number 13. |
