Vintage ICG RR Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Adlake Lock with Chain
Condition: Good. Please refer to detailed photos.
The Illinois Central Gulf Railroad was established on August 10, 1972, through the merger of the Illinois Central Railroad and the Gulf Mobile & Ohio Railroad. The merger also included Mississippi shortline railroads Fernwood Columbia & Gulf, Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern, and Columbus & Greenville.
By the mid-1980s, the railroad had abandoned many lines and began selling others to new operators such as Chicago, Missouri & Western Ry, Chicago Central & Pacific RR, MidSouth Rail Corporation, and Gulf & Mississippi RR.
In 1988, the railroad's parent company, IC Industries, changed its name to Whitman Corporation (which later became PepsiCo). The railroad then dropped "Gulf" from its name and reverted to Illinois Central Railroad on February 29, 1988. The new IC was purchased by Canadian National Railroad on February 11, 1998.
