Sigel, Illinois (Amtrak)
The next train to come by this same location (Sigel, Illinois, see previous post) was Amtrak’s Shawnee. This train ran between Chicago and Carbondale, Illinois.
The speed limit here at that time was 90 miles-per-hour given the cab signals of the Illinois Central. The train is being powered by the short-lived GE P30CH.

Sigel, Illinois (SD40A)
This is a southbound hopper train on the Illinois Central main line; we’re looking north toward Sigel, Illinois.
That’s an SD40A on point, which was an EMD locomotive that introduced some of the field marks that demarcate dash-two engines: sight glass, class light cut-outs, and the “L” shaped windshield we see so well in this shot.
