Rollback reason

Illinois Central Gulf Railroad is a redirect to this article. Linking away from here only to be redirected back here makes no sense. Slambo (Speak) 14:40, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1990's "Deathstar" logo

I think that it needs to be uploaded. It shows how the railroad tried to create a new image for themselves.

Stll Exists?

Does this railroad still exist as "Illinois Central"? Tmangray (talk) 03:01, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No show

Articles that mention track gauge 1473 mm Why does this not show at the end of the categories? Peter Horn User talk 23:18, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Make that [[Category:Articles that mention track gauge 1473 mm]] Peter Horn User talk 23:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Links to 4 ft 10 in (1,473 mm) Peter Horn User talk 23:29, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind this works [[Category:4 ft 10 in gauge railways in the United States]] Peter Horn User talk 00:01, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is among [[Category:Hidden categories]], that's why it did not show. Peter Horn User talk 00:12, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Paper Railroad

Since it is still a legally operative entity, shouldnt its data of operation be to the present, but with a note clarifying "as a paper railroad since 1999." ? ADHD Ginger Boi.#ALM2M [[User:ChiserYT|ChiserYT]] ([[User talk:ChiserYT|talk]]) (talk) 17:42, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. Illinois Central has not operated trains since 1999, which is the point in saying that it stopped operating in 1999. Existing as a paper company doesn't count as an operating railroad; CN has operated the IC lines since 1999. Also, what on earth is your signature??? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:19, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

lay off the signature. Its might not operate any rail, but if it's still a legally operated entity that still does business, then it should be noted. ADHD Ginger Boi.#ALM2M [[User:ChiserYT|ChiserYT]] ([[User talk:ChiserYT|talk]]) (talk) 02:18, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature is in violation of our rules on signatures. It is excessive in length and makes discussions very difficult to follow. It needs to be changed. And once again, Illinois Central isn't an operating railroad, it's just a shell corporation used by CN for its U.S. operations, as I already explained. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

it doesnt though. So as previously stated lay off. And also, a shell of a company Is still a company. ADHD Ginger Boi.#ALM2M [[User:ChiserYT|ChiserYT]] ([[User talk:ChiserYT|talk]]) (talk) 12:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, guess you're getting a trip to ANI. This was all avoidable. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:02, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm litterally on mobile you think I know how to change my tag on a phone. You seem to like to be strict and unwilling to change. You diverted my discussion to an unrelated topic. ADHD Ginger Boi.#ALM2M [[User:ChiserYT|ChiserYT]] ([[User talk:ChiserYT|talk]]) (talk) 14:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Map

This map is not anywhere near accurate. Clinton and Decatur seem to be missing. Both were hubs on the IC. 2601:248:8400:D370:74D9:C1BF:3E61:58E (talk) 07:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
