Illinois Central Railroad gray "New Image" caboose. Chicago Illinois USA. May 1987.

Gray Illinois Central "New Image" caboose. Chicago Illinois. May 1987.

I took this photo looking east from the South Pulaski Road overpass bridge near Daley College, one lovely Springtime afternoon in May of 1987. A westbound Illinois Central transfer train, is seen heading to the Belt Railway of Chicago, Clearing Yard in Bedford Park Illinois. The Illinois Central had recently reorganized, and adopted this gray "New Image" color scheme for their cabooses and various freight cars on their fleet. The train is traveling over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks.
