Tim Howard	General	Muscatine IA Culver Tower at Oregon Street (Looking SW)	5/26/2020 12:57:16 PM

Tom Beckett	General	Date would have to be after 1975, when the "bankruptcy blue" scheme was introduced, and prior to Mar 31 1980, when Rock shut down. I see pigs behind the power, so this is an actual Rock Island train, and not an equipment move for the trustee, so can't be later than that. The leader is a GP 7(not GP 9), followed by what looks like a couple of U25B's or U28B's, and a U33B. There's an unidentifieable fifth unit as well. Nice capture of the Rock in its end days.

Paul Rome	General	Great Homepage photo Rich! The second unit is a GE U28B in bankruptcy blue paint! I never saw any Rock GE's repainted into the blue scheme. Great shot! Thanks for posting it!	5/22/2022 11:15:49 AM
