This book presents reflections on the operations of the Illinois Central and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio railroads which merged and became the Illinois Central Gulf in 1972. In 1988 the merged railroad was renamed the Illinois Central after many GM&O routes were spun off as short line and regional railroads.

Examined are operations in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana. An amazing amount of information and data were gathered to produce this book. The ICG had an interesting history and much of it is contained in this title. Four Ways West, hardcover, 144 pages, all-color photographs and illustrations.

Visit the Illinois Central Gulf's Sparta District with its manifest freights, coal trains, and a local all sharing 149 miles of single-track main line traversing a territory rife with sags and hogbacks - part of which was known as "The Badlands." It's the story of "old head" railroading, the comic book plant, a big hill (in both directions), coal mines, and much more - all in southern Illinois!

This book portrays the Illinois Central Railroad from the early 1960s through the end of the 20th Century.It is a look at the IC from the final years of Wayne Johnston's administration through the 1972 merger with the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio, to the dismantling of the Illinois Central Gulf system during the 1980s and finally to the IC's resurgence as a successful and profitable railroad.The IC/GM&O merger is presented here with regard to the effect it had upon what once was and currently is the Illinois Central.

This Volume will cover the northern lines of the IC, while the next book will deal with the southern lines of the railroad.

Industry City, Volume 1: Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal and New York Dock Railway is a richly detailed exploration of the last independent rail-marine operations on New York City’s waterfront. Drawing on years of research and the collections of noted historians Jay Bendersky, Philip Goldstein, and the late Benjamin Schaeffer, this volume chronicles the intertwined histories of the Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal (BEDT) and the New York Dock Railway (NYD), two railroad operations that defined industrial Brooklyn From the bustling Kent Avenue yards and Pidgeon Street terminal to the piers of Red Hook and the warehouses of Fulton Terminal.

Through detailed histories, photographs, maps, and rosters, Industry City, Vol. 1 immerses readers in the last bits of industrial railroading from just before and throughout Conrail merger days, which changed the railroad scene in New York Harbor overnight. The 1970s merger that united BEDT and NYD under one banner produced the landmark “New York Dock Agreement,” a defining labor decision still cited today. This first volume in the Industry City series sets the stage for future books exploring other New York short lines — including New York Cross Harbor, the South Brooklyn Railway, Long Island Rail Road, and other New York City railroad operations — while preserving the legacy of an era when railroads, tugboats, and warehouses worked side by side to keep America’s largest city moving.

Bob Smith Industries INSTA-CURE is the super-thin CA (cyanoacrylate) glue trusted by model railroaders, scale modelers, RC builders, and scratch builders. Its ultra-low viscosity wicks deep into tight-fitting joints by capillary action, creating a rock-hard bond in 1–3 seconds.

Best for: Balsa and hardwood, metal, ceramics, and most plastics. Ideal for HO and N scale model assembly, detail work, and structural joints.

• Super-thin formula penetrates hairline gaps by capillary action
• 1–3 second cure on close-fitting surfaces
• 1 oz bottle — the most popular everyday size for modelers
• Pairs with BSI INSTA-SET accelerator for instant gap fills
• Use BSI UN-CURE debonder to reposition before full cure

Not recommended for foam — use BSI SUPER-GOLD for foam-safe bonding.
