| An April, 1968 addition to the IC
fleet, IC 5052 was one of ten(5050-5059) U33C's in the order. This unit was
the only solid orange unit which never had the sill painting (some later
had their sills painted orange), which suggests it might
have been the last unit painted in this scheme. It suffered an
electrical fire in the high voltage cabinet at Markham, Illinois on July
10th,1978 which enabled it to get the solid orange treatment. It was wrecked
around 1980, and finally scrapped in May of 1984. Obviously another unit
in which photos are hard to come by, especially the engineers side.
Notes: Sill color was orange. Unit was frequently assigned to the Iowa Division (West facing perhaps?). Non-standard initials. Date in Solid Orange: 1979? - 1984? |
