Haven for F-Units
In the mid- to late-1970s, Bloomington, Illinois was well-known as a haven for the remaining GM&O F-units. And with this being part of the ICG years, one of them, number 1615, got the orange and white treatment (formerly 806A). These units are all F3As built for the railroad in 1946 or 1947.
