Program Description
Event Details
The Rock Island Line used to ‘haul the freight,’ quite literally, making a significant contribution to America’s ‘horn of plenty.’ Today you can look back at how it was all done and how it made life better for the members of the average American family.
There are two videos today for a 40 minute program
The first takes the freight through Iowa on the Montezuma branch. The second shows all the ways the railway made possible the good things of life contributing to our American prosperity.
