IC #6000 - 6005 were originally built for the Illinois Central in late 1967. Later orders boosted the total IC SD40 count to 24 units. After the IC merged with the GM&O in 1972, the IC units teamed up with 21 units from the GM&O to form a sizable SD40 fleet for the newly created Illinois Central Gulf (ICG). During 1988, ICG dropped the âGulfâ from its name and again became the Illinois Central Railroad. As the SD40 fleet aged, many of them were rebuilt.
