  • 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

  • it was always an sd40 it was jsut built on a SD35 frame not a SD38

  • @rando4038 The first part is wrong. 6071 started life as EMD #434 and wore a scheme similar to Santa Fe's blue and yellow paintscheme due to it being tested on said railroad. It was later sold to the GM&O as you mentioned then to the IC and later to CN through mergers. The SD38/GP38 didn't come until after the SD40/GP40 line was introduced, quite some time after 6071 was built. It rides on a shorter SD35 frame due it being the only EMD offered at the time.

  • 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.
