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.)

That's beautiful! Wish I could see it roll by.....

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