IC SD40-2R #6071 has been preserved. This unit was never an SD-38 and has had many paint schemes. In order GM&O red/white, ICGorange/white, ICG orange/gray, and the current paint.
the ic 6071 was originally a emd sd-38, the emd rebuilt into the first sd-40, delivered in 1964 for the gulf mobile & ohio railroad at jackson tn & later served the illinois central gulf after the merger between the gm&o & the ic in 1972, then back to the illinois central name in 1988,this engine was originally red & white when delivered to the gm&o, then painted orange and white under the icg, and then the present black & white paint scheme we see now
