IC(G) GP9 9201         
The Illinois Central bought 26 GP9's equipped for passenger service, and all were built with a 62:15 (65 MPH) gear ratio; but this was one of four units (9200-9203) modified with high-speed 59:18 (85 MPH) gearing for use on the Chicago-Omaha line. By the time the 9201 was photographed deep in Gulf Mobile & Ohio territory - across from the Bogalusa depot - its high-speed days were long over. It was subsequently rebuilt in May 1979 as Ashley Drew & Northern GP10 1811. (approximate day)
