I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned this yet:

Railohio: Thanks for those great pics!! I just recently read a hisory of the Rock Island Lines!! Very interesting!! My father workrd for the DRI Lines for several years. I think they were a very short line, although they did go into the interior of Iowa. (as opposed to just Davenport and Rock Island.)

Makes one stop and wonder what the fallen flags may have look like today.
