Illinois Central Railroad local freight train.

Illinois Central Railroad local freight train., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photograph recently, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

Seen here is my Life Like Proto 2000 model, of an Illinois Central Railroad EMD SW 900 yard switcher pulling a cut of Athearn freight cars on the club layout.

This train represents a typical 1960's era switching local from the former Illinois Central Railroad. The locomotive is wearing the Illinois Central's pre 1967 black and white color scheme with the green diamond logo.

Thanks.
