The IC is one of the iconic railroads here in the Chicago area (and its tracks ran behind my grandmother’s house) so I’m slowly trying to build up some non-IC cars that prototypically would “work” in an IC Lionel consist. It’s not a big thing for me, but if I can then all the better! I’m trying to model both the transition period (pulled by my steamer) as well as the IC and IC Gulf (pulled by my GP-9). Any suggestions on road names that might have ended up being pulled by an IC/ICG engine in the real world?
