IC SD40A 6011         
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.

William H. Davis Jr. General Nice roster shot 2/10/2010 5:33:46 PM
Jerry Sires General Remember the days when slide traders would return shots like this in perfect light, a rare or unusual engine just because it had a telephone pole shadow in a remote place that did not hide any details. Great shot and one day I will dig out some of my IC and GM&O stuff. 4/24/2010 8:35:56 PM
