The Illinois Indiana Ohio & Eastern railroad was formed mainly due to a large number of customers on an abandoned MM&O(Mississippi Missouri & Ohio) mainline torn out in 1965. This line became partners with CP in 2005 when the railroad was reinstalled from Chicago to Toledo.

How many of miles of track are operated?

Just Over 290 miles are operated and you will rarely if never see a meet.

A beat up U23B with a B23-7 body.

In desperate need of repaint, like most IIO&E units, this SD38-2 is part of the IIO&E, is an ex-EJ&E unit.

38-2's are great when you have heavy loads that dont need to go anywhere fast. One of my fav's actually

I always loved the EJ&E SD38-2s and yea those ethanol trains are pretty long and heavy, the 38-2s are mainly used for that or a through frieght on occasion.

As most of you can see, all IIO&E units are in need of repaint. I'm sorry to report the 38-2's will be the first to get the bucket.
