Terry Respondek's IT inspired geep trio first run new p
Author: stlrailfan

Good morning list,

Thanks to working for a great boss and a genuine good guy my brother Mike and a small group of friends headed to Respondek's Squaw Creek Southern operation in soouthern Indiana to take his three recently repainted "IT" inspired geeps out for a first run. Mike and I work for Mr Terry Respondek on the Port Harbor Railroad, before starting his own company in 1987 Terry was a modern day boomer working for many railroads during the 1970's and 1980's. One railroad he worked for was the Illinois Terminal which he still has a great fondness for to this day. Over the past few years all locomotives that our company repaints gets "IT" inspired colors and silver underframe, fuel tank and trucks. Plans call for the # 4139 to keep working on the SQS in Indiana while the # 1001 and # 415 will eventually move to other Respondek operations. Thanks again to Mr Respondek for always playing a great host and making time in his busy schedule. Thanks for taking the time to look.

Too cool! Love the first shot. Having seen the IT heritage unit yesterday in Indiana I think I need to catch these sometime too. Good looking units.

If someone misses these at a grade crossing, their drivers license needs to be revoked. They are sweet looking.
