The Illinois Central Railroad, which is also referred to as the Main Line of Mid-America, ran in the central United States from Chicago to New Orleans along with many other branch lines.
The Illinois Central became a part of the Canadian National Railway in 1998. A time when many class one's were finding merging partners.
In this production Marshall Beecher along with William Beecher Junior, Mike Savona and Chris Laskowski, capture the IC's black beauties hauling freight along the IC system and beyond.
Marshall captures the Illinois Central before and after the CN merger in the mid to late 1990's on its main line from Chicago to Humboldt, Illinois.
William, Mike and Chris join Marshall following the Illinois Central in several other areas. Included is a portion of IC's Iowa Division from Galena, Illinois to Raymond, Iowa. Then we finish the show watching post CN merger trains on former Wisconsin Central and Green Bay & Western lines led with IC locomotiv |
