Some of the SW1200's went to David Joseph for their lease fleet. I think I saw a pix of one of them wearing DPJX (or something like that) working in Houston, TX a while ago. The two SD18s, 60 & 61, and the two RS1325's, 30 & 31, wear the G&W orange and are still in service. There were a couple of SD9s that went out to Willamatte & Pacific (another G&W family railroad) in Oregon. The last two C&IM SD9s, the repainted 53 and the 50, were scrapped at Springfield within the last year. The only other hold overs from the C&IM would have been the 80 series SD20s. Three of them went up to the U.P. of Michigan to operate a stone quarry and the other two were stored at Springfield when I last saw them from August of 2003.

I wish I could be of more help to you as the C&IM is one of my favorite railroads. The one thing I can say is that I am familiar with their old roster and, the last time I rail faned the I&M (two months ago), I recognized several of the old C&IM locomotives.
Does anyone know what their new (in the relative sense) SD-45s are doing in Tennessee?

"Extra 54 North OS Manito 1:34 PM"
I grew up with that. Spent my summer days at the depot. About a year ago I watched the I&M picking up five cars of popcorn at Forest City. (Mason County, IL grows the most popcorn.)
SD18 #61 was still working in central Illinois for the I&M on January 2, 2004, that's all I can help you with.
"By many measures, the U.S. freight rail system is the safest, most efficient and cost effective in the world." - Federal Railroad Administration, October, 2009. I'm just your average, everyday, uncivilized howling "anti-government" critic of mass government expenditures for "High Speed Rail" in the US. And I'm gosh darn proud of that.

I would like to find the location of C&IM locomotives that were disposed of prior to and after the change over to the I&M. I know the SD 38-2's were sold to the UP and were put into service at a hump yard. They were renumbered into the 2800 series I was told.
I heard that the SW 1200's went to a southern company as lease power, but that's all I know.
One of the SD 9's went to the west coast, but thats all I know.
I grew up in Springfield, and my Dad was a car-knocker there for 36 years.
Thanks in advance.
