IC 3063 Leads a Light Power Move Through Kensington Interlocking
Title:  IC 3063 Leads a Light Power Move Through Kensington Interlocking
Description:  The light engines are on the closest of the three non-electrified tracks. There are only two electrified tracks (closests) coming through Kensington station (the photographer is on the far south end of the platform) making the station a bottlenck. The track heading vertically through the plant is the only track to and from the South Shore's main tracks. All CSS&SB and IC (Metra) electric trains must go through here and think of the days when many steam/diesel powered intercity trains ran on the non-electrified tracks. Note, in 2008 a rearangement of the tracks is underway to add the much needed capacity to allow additional South Shore and Metra trains. Also note the diamond near the lower right corner of the picture has movable points.

IC Box Cars at About 11th and S. Michigan Ave.
Title:  IC Box Cars at About 11th and S. Michigan Ave.
Description:  My understanding was that if railroad property were used for railroad purposes it was taxed at a much lower rate thus the picture shows how the IC held on to some extremely valuable property (between Michigan Ave. and the Lake) that eventually became an extension of Grant Park.

Description:  The tower protects the Wabash-IC diamond (see other picture). The station was originally the Wabash Station and there used to be a second station to the left of the tower that was the IC station. The Amtrak station is closed and the last I heard is an antique mall.

ICG GP38-2 9605
Title:  ICG GP38-2 9605
Description:  ICG GP38-2 9605, Covington, Tennessee, July 19, 1986, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1974 (c/n 74646-6), it was named "Ambrose E. Burnside". The following is compiled from Wikipedia and Google info: Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 September 13, 1881) was once a treasurer of the Illinois Central Railroad (roughly around 1858). At the outbreak of the Civil War, Burnside was a Union brigadier general in the Rhode Island Militia. As the two armies faced the stalemate of trench warfare at Petersburg (Virginia) in July 1864, Burnside agreed to a plan suggested by a regiment of Pennsylvania coal miners in his corps: dig a mine under a fort in the Confederate entrenchments and ignite explosives there to achieve a surprise breakthrough. The fort was destroyed on July 30 in what is known as the Battle of the Crater. Because of interference from Maj. Gen. George G. Meade (whom Burnside outranked, but was under Meade's command), Burnside was ordered, only hours before the infantry attack, not to use his division of black troops, which had been specially trained for this mission. He was forced to use untrained white troops instead. He could not decide which division to choose as a replacement, so he had his three subordinate commanders draw lots. The division chosen by chance was that commanded by Brig. Gen. James H. Ledlie, who failed to brief the men on what was expected of them and was reported during the battle to be drunk well behind the lines, providing no leadership. Ledlie's men entered the huge crater instead of going around it, becoming trapped, and were subjected to murderous fire from Confederates around the rim, resulting in high casualties. Burnside was relieved of command on August 14 and sent on leave by Grant; Meade never recalled him to duty. A court of inquiry later placed the blame for the Crater fiasco on Burnside and his subordinates. In December, Burnside met with President Lincoln and General Grant about his future. He was contemplating resignation, but Lincoln and Grant requested that he remain in the Army. At the end of the interview, Burnside wrote, "I was not informed of any duty upon which I am to be placed." He finally resigned his commission on April 15, 1865. After his resignation, Burnside was employed in numerous railroad and industrial directorships, including the presidencies of the Cincinnati and Martinsville Railroad, the Indianapolis and Vincennes Railroad, the Cairo and Vincennes Railroad, and the Rhode Island Locomotive Works. He was elected to three one-year terms as Governor of Rhode Island (May 1866 to May 1869). He was commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic veterans' association from 1871 to 1872. At its inception in 1871, the National Rifle Association chose him as its first president.
