Love this video, both parts 1 & 2. As an old Rock Island fan living in Wichita, Kansas I have a lot of pictures of the old Rock Island's many and varied units and paint schemes. The only switcher I got was the 831, which I think, according to your video, is an SW-8. Also have a shot of the 406, an FP-7, in the lead coming through South Junction in Wichita. Thanks for this video and all the work put into it.
Those engine sounds were actually special effects just to put on top since unfortunately there weren’t any audio video cameras at this time when it was filmed unless u wanted to spend alote of money for one.
Thank you 💯... enjoyed Rock Island from 1949-1980 all throughout the MSP area👍👍
Thank you for watching
Don't forget the EMC TA, they had six of them.
Very good video. Very informative.
Thank you

Awesome! Thank you for sharing this. Love the shots at 103rd Street.
Thank you for watching we appreciate the feedback
What abouit Rock's one-of-a-kind TAs from the late 1930s???
Unfortunately that wasn’t covered in this since this was filmed at a later time
Where are the TAs?
I’ll ask Paul the next time at the train club if he filmed any TA’s
Did you watch part 2 of rock island railroad? The ta’s might be in there
Same engine sound from every unit type in the video, NOT real sharp to do that.
