IC 2108 at Peoria, Illinois on June 6, 1950, possibly by Joe Collias. Just off the left edge on the original, through the coaling tower, can be seen a diesel unit already in GM&O colors - See photo at bottom of page. "Dale French worked as a List Man & Head Brakeman on an engine of this class. I worked on the 2108, 2109, 2111, 2140 and probably others. These engines worked between Mattoon & Peoria on the PD&E on ICRR. I worked as a fireman for 1 trip. These engines were replaced by diesels around 1952."
