A trio of SD20s led by #2021 bring 60 cars of coal past the old Gulf Mobile & Ohio depot at Sparta, Ill. on December 29, 1991.  The train is BA2 or "Baldwin 2" and shuttles coal between Arch of Illinois' Captain Mine near Percy and Illinois Power's Baldwin Generating Station.  The Sparta depot was made famous by the 1967 Oscar-winning movie In the Heat of the Night, staring Rod Steiger and Sidney Poiter.

Old and new logos meet as shown on train I-01 as it pauses for a crew change in Champaign, Ill. on train I-01.   The last remaining "original black" IC GP40 #3014 is the trailing unit sporting the Green Diamond logo.  Immediately behind is a 45' intermodal trailer sporting the new IC logo.
