ICG 9604 - Illinois Central Gulf |
| Description: |
Here is another ICG GP38 captured by an unknown amateur photographer in the early 1980's. This unit, former IC #9604 built by EMD in 1974, carried the name "Roswell B. Mason" after the IC executive who later became the mayor of Chicago. Unfortunate for him, the Great Chicago Fire occurred during his term in office. Moral - should have stayed a railroad man! |

| Description: |
ICG GP38-2 9605, Covington, Tennessee, July 19, 1986, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1974 (c/n 74646-6), it was named "Ambrose E. Burnside". Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 September 13, 1881) was an American soldier, railroad executive, inventor, industrialist, and politician from Rhode Island, serving as governor and a U.S. Senator. His distinctive style of facial hair is now known as sideburns, derived from his last name. In 1853, he devoted his time and energy to the manufacture of the famous rifle that bears his name, the Burnside carbine. The destruction by fire of his factory contributed to his financial ruin, and he was forced to assign his firearm patents to others. He went west in search of employment and became treasurer of the Illinois Central Railroad. |

| Description: |
ICG GP38-2 9605, Covington, Tennessee, July 19, 1986, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1974 (c/n 74646-6), it was named "Ambrose E. Burnside". The following is compiled from Wikipedia and Google info: Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 September 13, 1881) was once a treasurer of the Illinois Central Railroad (roughly around 1858). At the outbreak of the Civil War, Burnside was a Union brigadier general in the Rhode Island Militia. As the two armies faced the stalemate of trench warfare at Petersburg (Virginia) in July 1864, Burnside agreed to a plan suggested by a regiment of Pennsylvania coal miners in his corps: dig a mine under a fort in the Confederate entrenchments and ignite explosives there to achieve a surprise breakthrough. The fort was destroyed on July 30 in what is known as the Battle of the Crater. Because of interference from Maj. Gen. George G. Meade (whom Burnside outranked, but was under Meade's command), Burnside was ordered, only hours before the infantry attack, not to use his division of black troops, which had been specially trained for this mission. He was forced to use untrained white troops instead. He could not decide which division to choose as a replacement, so he had his three subordinate commanders draw lots. The division chosen by chance was that commanded by Brig. Gen. James H. Ledlie, who failed to brief the men on what was expected of them and was reported during the battle to be drunk well behind the lines, providing no leadership. Ledlie's men entered the huge crater instead of going around it, becoming trapped, and were subjected to murderous fire from Confederates around the rim, resulting in high casualties. Burnside was relieved of command on August 14 and sent on leave by Grant; Meade never recalled him to duty. A court of inquiry later placed the blame for the Crater fiasco on Burnside and his subordinates. In December, Burnside met with President Lincoln and General Grant about his future. He was contemplating resignation, but Lincoln and Grant requested that he remain in the Army. At the end of the interview, Burnside wrote, "I was not informed of any duty upon which I am to be placed." He finally resigned his commission on April 15, 1865. After his resignation, Burnside was employed in numerous railroad and industrial directorships, including the presidencies of the Cincinnati and Martinsville Railroad, the Indianapolis and Vincennes Railroad, the Cairo and Vincennes Railroad, and the Rhode Island Locomotive Works. He was elected to three one-year terms as Governor of Rhode Island (May 1866 to May 1869). He was commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic veterans' association from 1871 to 1872. At its inception in 1871, the National Rifle Association chose him as its first president. |

ICG GP38-2 9614 |
| Description: |
ICG GP38-2 9614, Chicago, Illinois, October 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in December 1974 (c/n 74646-15) , this locomotive was named "Henry S. McComb". In 1872 Colonel Henry Simpson McComb, a Director on the Union Pacific Railroad and also the President of the New Orleans Jackson and Great Northern Railroad (later absorbed by the IC) decided, for moral reasons, to move the locomotive and car maintenance shops to a location outside of New Orleans. Land was purchased in Pike County and building lots in the city were offered at low prices to employees with families. Not being a drinking man, Colonel McComb wanted to remove his men from the dreadful influences of the New Orleans saloons. It was later stipulated in the McComb City charter that there would be no alcoholic beverages sold within the city limits. News about the brand-new city even reached as far north as New York City when an article was published in the newspapers to advertise for jobs. In the new town, almost every family was involved with the railroad in some way. There is more to the story of Colonel McComb. The Credit Mobilier of America (CMA), incorporated by the Pennsylvania legislature on March 26, 1864, was a firm designed to enhance profits from federal funding of the transcontinental railroad, partially through bribes to federal officeholders. The second section of track, totaling 267 miles, began construction in 1867. United States Representative Oakes Ames (who also held the position of Director on the Union Pacific Railroad) became president of CMA and oversaw the project. During his oversight, CMA began the process of wooing members of Congress. When Congress assembled in December 1867, Ames and a CMA official, the eccentric George F. Train (ironic name!), travelled to Washington DC to offer shares in CMA at reduced value as a means of enticing them into investing. This first offer appeared to be legitimate, unlike future such offers. By encouraging investment by members of Congress, Ames and Train hoped to increase their willingness to vote for needed legislation (particularly voting to pay CMA for its trackwork at a higher rate than originally agreed upon). One means of retaining his tie to members of Congress was to issue stock in the corporation to members of Congress without their knowledge. Ames then held the profit in trust for the member of Congress until needed in the future, which came sooner than he had anticipated, when Representative Washburn of Wisconsin introduced a bill to regulate rail rates. In order to defeat the measure, Ames entered into the first agreements clearly falling into the realm of bribery. In one such transaction, a bribed Congressman from the South promised to "take care of the Democratic side of the aisle". By the end of 1867, CMA billed the U.S. Government $57.1 million for work costing the corporation $27.3 million. News of the scandal broke two months before the Presidential Election of 1872. McComb had a disagreement with Ames and delivered documents to leading newspapers. Though members of Congress on both sides of the aisle were implicated, the Democratic newspapers took up the issue as a means of undermining President Grant's re-election effort. The New York Sun in particular carried stories of how Ames had skimmed off profits for his friends in Congress. The stolen profits represented staggering numbers for 1872, including $19 million from the last leg of the transcontinental railroad. One of the elected officials implicated in the scandal was then U.S. Representative from Ohio (1863-80) James A. Garfield, who went on to become (you guessed it) the President of the United States. |

ICG 9616 passes the depot |
| Description: |
Shot from west of the tracks on a RR owned road at MP208.9. The train is coming from Freeman Coal Crown III mine west of Farmersville, IL which opened in 1981 (about 10 miles south). The train is northbound with three ICG GP38-2s and one GM&O GP38-2 and a string of bathtub gons. This track was originally the Jacksonville Southeastern railroad. In 1899 the Illinois Central bought the railroad for the Madison Coal Corp. mine #6 in Divernon (it produced the most coal in the state between 1900 and 1930, it closed in 1925!). |
