Built in August 1964 as GM&O GP35 619 (c/n 29276) on EMD Order 7729, it briefly became PAL 2517, was rebuilt by VMV Enterprises in December 1990 to BN GP39V 2978, later becoming BNSF 2978. It is seen here outside the ICG's Paducah Shops which, during my visit, were shut down. Eventually, the Shops were taken over by VMV Enterprises.

ICG GP26 2601
Description:
Iclinois Central Gulf GP26 2601, Chicago, Illinois, January, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built as Gulf Mobile & Ohio GP30 502 (c/n 27906) December 1962 on EMD Order 7635, it became one of only two GP26's. Note that the locomotive retained the AAR Type B trucks from Alco FA1 trade-in's. Here is the explanation from Dan Kohlberg: ICG's two GP26's were built in March and April of 1981. Gulf Mobile & Ohio GP30's 502 and 514 were pebuilt as ICG 2601 and 2602. Among the laundry list of changes (internal and external), they received the standard Paducah spartan cab along with a Paducah 88 inch nose. ICG left the turbocharger and the 2250 hp rating. The Paducah/ICG sales literature, however, listed the GP26 model as 2600 hp. Why? Well, consider what the original 'donor' locomotive to become a GP26 was supposed to be. ICG was trying to sell this to railroads with aging GP35 fleets. Paducah had intended to use a 2500 hp GP35 as the starting point, and upping the horsepower another 100... hence the 26 designation (and the carbody changes, in my opinion). ICG sorta 'faked' it with the GP30's. Since the GP26 program never made it beymnd two locomotives, it is hard to speculate how the GP30 vs. GP35 rebuilds might have been classified, had the ICG continued to rebuild the ex-GM&O (or anyone else's) 30/35 fleet. Basically, the GP26 was ICG/Paducah's answer to a railroad buying a GP39-2 or GP39X new from EMD. (Remember, the 2600hp GP39Xs showed up on the SOU in late 1980) Bad timing for the ICG by about seven years. VMV/MK/EMD implemented a similar GP30/35 rebuild program for the BN starting in 1988.

ICG GP35 2539
Description:
ICG GP35 2539 in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 2539 was built in August 1965 as GM&O GP35 641 (c/n 30268) on EMD Order 7794. later becoming ICG 2539. It was rebuilt by VMV (Paducah, Kentucky) during October 1990 to BN GP39V 2983. Also seen is CN SD40 5210, class GF-30k, built by GMD during September 1971 (c/n A2527) on order C338, sold for scrap during December 2002. As I recall, both trains were stopped for a BRC train passing behind me. The Stevenson Expressway (I55) is to the left, I was driving by and noticed the two trains, so I pulled over to snap this photo.

Built in September 1965 as GM&O GP35 646 (c/n 30273) on EMD Order 7794, it reused the trucks from Alco FA1 trade-in's. It is seen here in the Paducah dead line, eventually it became VMV 3600. It looks like there was a little heat below the cab.
