The IC + GM&O merger saw several F3A / F7A locos conveyed to the new ICG and assigned a 1600 series number, but only 1610, 1615 and 1620 had them applied. They were also the only F-units to receive the full orange & white treatment.
GP38AC (EMD) 1776 (1st) -- 35675 2/70 #9510 became ICG's Bicenntenial loco - "The American Eagle"; it was destroyed in a grade-crossing accident shortly after being painted.

Note 90 - GP8, GP10 and GP11 rebuild data
  • When searching for data on a specific GP8, GP10 or GP11-rebuild locomotive, please send your request to The Diesel Shop, and the information will be forwarded to you. This step will be temporary until all of the data tables have been completed. Thank you.
  • 9016, 9086, 9239 & 9363 reblt to GP10 specs after wreck/fire, but carried on books as GP9s because they were financed through insurance funds and not a Capital Rebuild Program.
