Swap Meet
CN's Humko power tends to be swapped out a lot these days, and usually we can expect another noodled ex-IC or ex-GTW Geep to take the reigns. Imagine my surprise when I'm informed that IC3108 had arrived in town, with IC9610 and its partner having disappeared the night before.
For a day, 3108 worked on its own, but it was then joined the next day by IC9569. That's when I happened to stumble upon it over at Kraft right after work one day. It's hard to believe the 166-built IC3108, rebuilt in 1988 at Paducah, used be leading intermodal trains up and down the IC at 70mph, seeing as it and its sisters all have been demoted to local power these days. How times do change...
