IC GP11 8701
Title:  IC GP11 8701
Description:  Probably the world's most photographed GP11; IC 8701 sits on display by the depot at Carbondale IL. This view emphasises the 1 foot addition to the hood behind the cab that was a primary feature of the type over the previous Paducah-built GP10, as well as the single handrail stanchion along the short hood- GP8s and GP10s had two.
