The railroad modernized operations while serving important agricultural, industrial, and chemical markets throughout the Midwest and South. Known for its striking orange-and-white “split rail” paint scheme, Illinois Central Gulf became one of the most recognizable railroads of the 1970s and 1980s before later returning to the simpler Illinois Central identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"1156\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe EMD GP9 locomotive was an important part of Illinois Central Gulf’s locomotive fleet, especially in local freight, yard switching, and branchline service. Many of these dependable 1,750-horsepower units were inherited from predecessor railroads and continued working well into the ICG era thanks to their rugged reliability and versatility. Several units received rebuilt features such as chopped noses for improved visibility, allowing the locomotives to remain effective for industrial switching and secondary freight assignments across the railroad’s extensive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 22px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 23px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the most widely used diesels ever - based on Phase II units rebuilt for improved forward visibility and in service from the 1960s to present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition - one time run of these roadnumbers!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale width hood with correct contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-pin DCC plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSame powerful drive as WalthersProto(R) locos featuring:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole skew-wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 to 1 gear ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelical-cut gears for quiet operation and easy multiple unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive and electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined brass flywheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant and directional LED headlights\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlternate horns and bells can be programmed on the sound decoder using these CVs: Horns: CV163 = 0 - Leslie A-200 (default) CV163 = 1 - Wabco single-chime CV163 = 2 - Nathan M3 CV163 = 3 - Leslie S3L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBells: CV164 = 0 - Bronze bell (default) CV164 = 1 - Steel bell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 28px 0 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #b83a26; font-size: 26px; margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eℹ️ \u003cstrong\u003ePlease review before placing your pre-order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 22px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eHow to Place Your Pre-Order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col style=\"font-size: 15px; padding-left: 24px; margin-top: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 7px;\"\u003eWait for the button to say \u003cstrong\u003e“Pre-Order Now”\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 7px;\"\u003eConfirm you see \u003cstrong\u003e“$0.00 due today”\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 7px;\"\u003eComplete checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 22px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 22px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eHow Pre-Orders Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-size: 15px; padding-left: 22px; margin-top: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eReserve your item today.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eWe will contact you once inventory is en route to us with your final invoice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eManufacturer delivery dates are estimates and may change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eYou will still enter payment information at checkout, but as long as you see \u003cstrong\u003e“$0.00 due today”\u003c\/strong\u003e, your card will not be charged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eWe do not automatically charge cards when pre-orders arrive.
