| Illinois Central E8A 4023, E9B 4108 and E8A 4022 sit on a ready track at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and will depart shortly on Amtrak's PANAMA LIMITED. Trailing unit 4022 was one of at least six IC E-units that were repainted in Amtrak colors while on lease to the national carrier until the delivery of new SDP40F units later in 1974. Amtrak leased these units from IC and then ICG units because they were equipped with Automatic Train Control for use in ATC territory between Champaign and Centralia. |
