Event Details
Hear the whistle greet the prairies as the Rock Island trains pierce the quiet countryside through the plains of the Midwest. Listen anew to the rumble of steel wheels on steel rails. Feel the wonder of those huge and powerful engines lumbering toward you, trying to keep their grip on the two tracks beneath them. Enjoy these once so familiar sights and sounds.
Today’s hour-long video will take you back in time as you experience the proud Rock Island Line carrying freight and passengers through the 1950s into the 1970s.
