    Rock Island had a Joint Train with the CB&Q that ran from St Louis to Minneapolis called the Zephyr Rocket. The interesting thing about this train is one day it would use all CB&Q equipment and the next day all Rock Island equipment

    I never knew there was a Chicago-LA train called the Imperial. Learn something new every day! Not sure what I'll do with this knowledge... but its nice to know.

    My parents would put my brother and me on in Joliet and we rode to Davenport by ourselves. When we were 5 and 7 years old. In the early 60s. They just told the conductor where we were to get off.
