ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY
====================================
Informational Note: This page represents those Illinois Central views taken until 1972 when it combined with the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio to become the Illinois Central Gulf. The ICG remained such until 1988 when the remaining company was sold to a group of investors under the name of the Illinois Central (of 1988). All views from 1972 through 1998 are found in those respective companies.
Photographer note: Many of the following views in this Illinois Central section were not only from the collection of, but were probably taken by, Paul Eilenburger. Unfortunately, in many cases he left no information as to what views were his and what views were not.
All items in this section are shopping cart purchaseable.
