The Rock Island was abandoned in 1980, unlike other class ones that were merged, the Rock Island ceased in 1980. I am not sure of the exact day, but it was before May 15th. When we we there then everything was locked and guarded. The photo says this consist was painted blue so if the consist still existed in 1979 they would have been blue.
It shouldn't be too hard to run it down.
