PICKED OUT BY a quick burst of sunshine during an otherwise mainly cloudy May 30th, 2006, day, Indiana Harbor Belt GP40-2 No. IHB 4013 awaits its next duty at Norpaul Yard, Franklin Park, Illinois. While it isn’t so obvious from the front, the large light mounting plate just visible on the rear of the locomotive illustrates the former Southern Pacific and Union Pacific heritage of this unit.
