Hard to find
Title:  Hard to find
Description:  The Rock Island disappeared from the railroad scene almost 40 years ago, and these cars are now reaching the end of the FRA dictated service life, so Im always glad to see one, surprised, even. This classic treat was southbound on CSX. It's now owned by Wells Fargo Rail Corp.
