Illinois Central: North of the Ohio River

"Illinois Central: North of the Ohio River" is a brand new 136-page hardcover book published by The Railroad Press. A terrific variety of images from the Illinois Central, including chocolate & orange E-Units, Green Diamond Geeps, orange & white U-Boats and much more, are all in full color! You will even find a black RS2, Cows and Calves, ALCO Century 636’s, the prototype GP40 and GP30’s in two different schemes! The book combines classic color photography of the IC and ICG from 50 photographers with well-researched text by David P. Oroszi and Kirk Reynolds. It includes extensive historical detail, maps, schedules and operating information. Photographic coverage includes the Chicago Division, Iowa Division, Springfield, East St. Louis, Indianapolis, Gilman, Dubuque and many other strategic locations. Our action and roster shots are run large on the page and the details are crisp... and we don’t crop out the interesting backgrounds. The reproduction of the 184 color photos is second-to-none and it is printed on very heavy high-gloss paper – the book weighs over 2 pounds! There is also a photo index in the back for easy reference. "Illinois Central: North of the Ohio River" certainly will be remembered as one of the finest volumes ever produced on the IC.Reynolds, Kirk is the author of 'Illinois Central: North of the Ohio River' with ISBN 9781931477086 and ISBN 1931477086.
