  • 1976 was a different time for the Rock. Maintenance issues plagued the line after the attempted UP/RI merger was canceled. However, a small portion still had fast freight capabilities, and today we take a look at that segment of line. Enjoy!

    What a great! Great capture of the power mix in type and color that was the Rock Island at this time period. I love all the detail in the lettering, weathering and color. This feels like the Illinois/Iowa Division around Blue Island. Thanks.

      Oh totally! There’s just a huge lack of GM&O content for Trainz, so it would be a pretty big project if I was to make a video about the GM&O

      Ehhh, BI/Chicago was pretty bad until they got some grants to rebuild the trackage. Too little too late however

    Hey great fun watching it, but no virtual weeds and virtual bolted wavey rail??

      Blue Island wasn’t as bad as the rest of the system, I think it was 1975 they got some grants to rebuild the trackage. Other parts however…

    Love the passing trains 09:02 what a nice surprise. Did you work for the Rock Island? How do you know this railroad so well?

      Never worked for them, but I have some great people in my life that make this stuff possible, with reference images and videos to work off of, plus some of my imagination.
