Illinois Central Shots.

[illinoiscentral]

The first order of business here is, I cannot post screenshots due to a computer problem.
This thread is devoted to IC screenshots, with WC, GTW, and Canadian National, if they are on IC trackage. I'm a huge fan of the IC, so I wanted to make a thread for Trainz IC. I really hope that this thread will always have posts in it, and I hope to be able to post some shots soon! Thank You to any one who posts!!!

Where did you find that? That must be from a long time ago, I don't even remember it. Sorry for the waste of space, but this is a "revamped" version, I guess.

Maybe this one will have some life to it.....Heres some to start it off



An IC local heads north on the Superior Sub thru Junction City as it makes its way towards Marshfield to do some switching.....Its just about to cross over the CN Valley Sub that runs north up to Wausau and south to Wisconsin Rapids........

 

[illinoiscentral]

Thanks for posting WCL! I have always wanted to see a great IC shot.

 

[WCL]

No problem....Hope to see some from you sometime soon......:wave:

@ WCL: Where did you find those clamps in the pictures (track ends) ?:udrool:

Nice thread IC!

And definitely a nice shot as always WCL.

:Y:

Yah those clamps look interesting. I've never seen anything like that for track termination.

Thanks Bryin,
I believe you live in Michigan right? Is that where Cn sent all the IC stuff!:hehe:

Yes, I'm in MICHigan.



lol about the CN / IC comment. I'm not really sure tbh!

 

[illinoiscentral]

Seems as though all the IC equipment is disappearing, wow, its been ten years since the "merger"? Time flies.

Nice shots. I am also wondering where those car stops came from. I have been searching for them for a while now. If you remember let us know, though if not, I am sure that I will eventually find them. Once again, great shots. As soon as I get my new computer, I will have to make some IC reskins and post them.

 

[illinoiscentral]

Once again thanks to everybody who has made this thread possible!

[WCL]

We just need more pix.....:wave:

 

[illinoiscentral]

Yeah I wish I could get my screenshots to work or there would be a gazzilion!
Like I said, GTW, CN or WC is always welcome! Just keep some IC flavor to it.

They are sending them all to Duluth, MN :hehe: so they can retire most of the DMIR locomotives(booo). I think theres at least 8 or so IC sd40-2's running the hills (plus a couple of non dynamics running around Pokegama in Superior, WI.

That just don't make sense. Why run IC stuff there? Oh well Hunter Harrison only merged Ic with CN because he wanted control of a larger company!

Wow. Aren't you quite the uninformed individual.

Give this a read once and it might brush up on your history a lil bit with the CN and such
