Posted by Nigel Curtis on October 20, 2009  Hard to believe that the locos never worked for The Rock again apart from rounding up stranded freight cars. A sad end to a popular railroad. Posted by Steven Kakoczki on October 20, 2009  After seeing this great photo, I have come to the conclusion that I was born 10 years too late. This is living proof that the 1970s was a great time to be a railfan, then in 1980, we lost the Rock, John Lennon, and the Frisco. Posted by RailFreak78 on October 22, 2009  Thank you for sharing this photo. This was my grandfathers favorite and I took it on as my favorite and collect all model size I can afford. I wish I could have seen this myself and again thanks. Posted by Brandon Whisler on October 23, 2009  Awesome photo! Its so neat to see all of the rock island railcars.

Like many others I wish I could have seen her in person when she was still running. Posted by Nick Smith on October 25, 2009  That couldn't be an old AB6 on the very left side of the photo...could it? Posted by ChevelleSSguy on October 26, 2009  Its amazing to believe they went bankrupt looking at a shot like this. Posted by Conrail7699 on July 13, 2011  there some around today
