Love these old photos. What was the Wabash a subsidiary of the Pennsy (by this time)? How did the Illinois Terminal fit into the picture?

I think they leased the units. Illinois Terminal brought thr line after the Mackinaw River Bridge derailment. Detouring over the Illinois Cenral Gulf had its problems. At the time Pennsylana was not using the line but it was intact. wb
