Really great. From the sound and look of it, one would think the Rock Island Line should be active today. Oh well, to the whims of history have many great ventures passed. I was amazed at the level of technology in the rail yards back then, impressive. Thanks.
Yes, and "The Rock" really tried to survive, and probably could have with a bit more luck.. and they managed to raise more than $500 million in the liquidation, paying off all the railroad's creditors, bondholders and all other debts, with interest.

Chased the Rock Island in st Paul MN,1950-1980...left a impression in my ❤️🧠
It is sad that a great railroad was run into the ground by bad management.
