Head end traffic

2008-01-02T20:41:10Z

I'm trying to find information on head end traffic on ICs passenger
trains (i.e. the types of cars used). I've found information about
head end traffic on passenger trains in general but nothing specific
to IC. All the photos I can find show bagage cars and RPOs in the IC
livery, but I can't find any images of REA refers or anything non

Good morning all:
Does any one have info on the facilities at Bluford during steam days?

In Search of History

2007-10-01T23:50:08Z

I am a student at IU in Bloomington and doing some research for a
documentary project about the Illinois Central line that ran through
southern Indiana. I am searching for anyone who has had a connection
with the Illinois Central to possibly interview. If you have worked
for/with, have extensive information about or have a family member

My apologies for the inappropriate postings to this group. I had
already restricted postings to members only, but this scum bag joined
the group in order to post that garbage, I have reported the e-mail to
Google, removed him from the group and have changed the settings for
the group so that new members messages will be reviewed before posting

Looking for History of IC 2904 Dining Car

2007-08-25T12:45:54Z

Hi, David Little here. I live in Aiken, SC and we are currently
building a a full scale replica of the city's original train station.
As part of the project, we purchased the above dining car from the
Hale family in Murray, Kentucky. It is reported they purchased the car
in 1987 (part of a three car purchase) from the railroad. The cars

My mother yelled at me for collecting them in the early 70s. My wife is
yelling at me because I still have a bunch of them.
I remember hooping it up on the Iowa Division and forms 44 & 19.

M33791 30

2007-07-31T16:53:14Z

The schedules for M337 & M338 were recently changed putting both trains
through Dubuque at non-photogenic times. Today, M337 was running later

I got close to 1202 when it came through Dubuque, but not close enough
to get frame numbers. There has been quite a bit of speculation
elsewhere about the units that were used in the program. I can verify
that 1419, 1438 and 1482 came through Dubuque on their way to Relco in
Albia, Iowa for the conversion. According to what I've read, 1489 and
