A visitor from the north...sort of...In 1998, Canadian National purchased the Illinois Central railroad. However, CN still identifies the former IC units on its roster. This C40-8W is one of only 42 such units Illinois Central had. Although it now wears standard Canadian National colors, a small "IC" is painted on the cab, indicating the heritage of the unit.

A rare visitor to the Denver area, Illinois Central SD40-2R (without dynamic breaks) 6003 sits near the house in BNSF's yard. Although it appears to be an SD40, it has been rebuilt to dash 2 standards/electronics.
