JCB4010
IHB 4010 @ CP Canal - Summit, IL
Just before sunset, train BP2 crosses the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal at CP Canal in Summit, IL as they head west for Union Pacific’s Proviso Yard with the fan favorite GP40P-2, IHB 4010 in the lead and an IHB GP40-2 (4012) trailing. In the midst of crossing the former GM&O Diamond of the CN Joliet Sub, they’d once again cross another Diamond of the former Santa Fe, the BNSF Chillicothe Sub behind me at CP McCook. Taken: 5-26-23
The 4010 was once the Southern Pacific bicentennial unit (3197) and served as a commuter unit for their passenger service out of San Francisco in the mid 70s, hence “P” for the steam generator that was removed in the early 1980s. The last two SP GP40Ps remain on UPs roster to this very day.
