Athearn Genesis HO GEN GP38-2 Locomotive w/DCC & Sound, IC #9567
Athearn Genesis - ATHG-1824
In 1972, Gulf Mobile & Ohio received 15 GP38-2s from EMD. These early phase units featured chicken wire grilles and widely-spaced radiator fans. That same year, the GM&O merged into the Illinois Central. After a few different paint schemes, the IC settled on the simple black and white scheme in the 1990âs. This would become the last scheme worn until the CN purchased the IC in 1998, with many of the units lasting well into the 2010s.
