More Death Star

Given the previous post, I dug around and found one more image of the final Illinois Central livery, reminiscent of the early days of diesels on the Mainline of Mid-America. I imagine this would have been in Mattoon, Illinois or thereabouts.

I looked up the main unit visible here: it happens to be former GM&O number 921, an SD40 built in 1966.

One image by Richard Koenig; taken 1991 or 1992.

I now have an ice saw. Once used to cut out ice blocks, now used to promote black metal. 📸 Douglas-Hart Nature Center, Mattoon, IL.

The address given for their “Durga! Durga! Durga!” cassette in Mattoon, IL 61938. Source: MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, issue no. 21, Jan., 1985. Street view date: Dec., 2022. Sample quote from the review: “I guess what's "underground" is relative to where you're from. For these guys from Central Illinois, this form of pop/punk/funk they practice is pretty radical. For me, though, it's a bit too close to much "new wave," although there are moments that attract me.” (TY).
