The 7,100 mile Illinois Central Gulf was well positioned to handle auto parts traffic between the upper midwest and central southern states and contributed these Greenville built cars to the various 86' boxcar pools accordingly. For the 1972 merger of Illinois Central and Gulf Mobile & Ohio, the IC's "split rail" logo was modified, joining the two halves and centering the dot above. In 1988, ICG changed their name back to Illinois Central but retained a version of the big I logo. In 1999, Canadian National purchased the IC and these cars joined the greater CN fleet
