Reply to "Road Names that Go with 1950s – 1980s Illinois Central"

I'm guessing that you want anything that was seen behind I.C. power?

I've seen B&O, C&O, L&N, MONON, Pennsylvania, Southern, as well as, some NYC cars leaving Louisville, Ky running south, on the I.C. > Central City, Ky

I also remember seeing cars from Swift, Fisher, Klarer, Meat Packing Plants from smoke town in Louisville.  There was also a lot of MKT Livestock cars that came in on the I.C. from the Memphis, Tenn area, that originated from out west, Texas/Oklahoma.

This was in say the middle 50's. Remember that, cause I finally got big enough, and tough enough, to brave riding my bicycle through a mean A** neighborhood, out to Oak Street Yard, to watch the last of the Steam Locomotives working in Louisville, Ky................Hope this helps..........................Brandy!
