ROCK ISLAND RAILROAD PART 1

#trains #diesellocomotive #history Paul Sartori joined our trainclub during mid 1997, in 1998 osmr had to find a new home and we ended up using a machine shop in apopka for most of the year, the shop had a small office that had a hvac and on tuesdays some of our club members would show up in the afternoons and Paul would put on a show with his train movies for entertainment. Pauls shows covered Alote of the united states as he moved very frequently Paul also recently converted all his movies to DVD so they can be played at the train club and so they can be shared to everyone watching the youtube channel. Special thanks to Paul for the movies all the credit goes to him! ILLEGAL COPY OR UPLOAD OF THIS ON ANYONE ELSE’S CHANNEL WILL GET PROSECUTED.

What abouit Rock's one-of-a-kind TAs from the late 1930s???

[@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUB]

Unfortunately that wasn’t covered in this since this was filmed at a later time

[@osmanjeffrey]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing this. Love the shots at 103rd Street.

[@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUB]

Thank you for watching we appreciate the feedback

Love this video, both parts 1 & 2. As an old Rock Island fan living in Wichita, Kansas I have a lot of pictures of the old Rock Island's many and varied units and paint schemes. The only switcher I got was the 831, which I think, according to your video, is an SW-8. Also have a shot of the 406, an FP-7, in the lead coming through South Junction in Wichita. Thanks for this video and all the work put into it.

[@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUB]

Thanks for watching both of them we appreciate it

[@haroldreardon8070]

Same engine sound from every unit type in the video, NOT real sharp to do that.

[@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUB]

Those engine sounds were actually special effects just to put on top since unfortunately there weren’t any audio video cameras at this time when it was filmed unless u wanted to spend alote of money for one.

[@tonyanderson-ln9gl]

Where are the TAs?

[@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUB]

I’ll ask Paul the next time at the train club if he filmed any TA’s

[@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUB]

Did you watch part 2 of rock island railroad? The ta’s might be in there
