Palisades Patrol
The Palisades Patrol — powered by Illinois Central dual control freight GP-7 8851, one of two on the IC — rolls through the bucolic countryside between Altoona and Belle Plaine. The local way freight was the beginning and end for much railroad freight transportation, picking up and delivering individual cars for shippers and consignees. The dual-control cab was ideally suited for the out-and-back operation of the patrol.
