ICG GP38-2 9615 |
| Description: |
ICG GP38-2 9615, Corinth, Mssissippi. April 3, 1984, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in December 1974 (c/n 74646-16), one of 40 GP38-2's built as the first new locomotives for the ICG. The GP38-2's were named for prominent historical figures, and this one was named John A. Logan. As far as I can tell, John Alexander Logan was a Colonel in the Union Army during the US Civil War, known by the nickname "Black Jack". During the Siege of Corinth, Logan commanded first a brigade and then the 1st Division of the Army of Tennessee. In the spring of 1863, he was promoted to the rank of Major General. After the war he was a US Representative and later a Senator from Illinois. Closer to home, my understanding is that Logan Square in Chicago was named after him, and I lived there for ten years, giving me the opportunity to snap some of the photos I've posted on this web site. |
