Bill, Thanks for the great photo and history. Rock Island was the RR that I first knew and fell in love with trains with at age 4 or 5, roaring through Morris, IL. And just look at those worn, punished and heavily used tracks there. So typical back then for the Rock Island!

It needs a wash, but is still a nice shot.. Thanks for your excellent notes.
I worked for C&NW in the Chicago office from 1960 to 1965.
Thanks for posting, and best regards.
