Back when I was a punk kid growing up in the Chicago area, I was lucky enough to ride and experience the Rock from downtown to Joliet. What a railroad! One day in 1974, during summer vacation, I sat all day near the Blue Island,Vermont street, depot and watched the action all day. Alcos switching the yards, tripple headed E-8's hauling freights, E-6 # 630 on commuter trains, the 750 or 751 AB-6 on commuter runs.....F-3's and ex Union Pacific (can I use their name?) E-9's still wearing yellow on commuter trains. Then there was the rockets...sometimes 2 cars, sometimes 12 with a Vista dome (big ben). It was a great railroad and I miss it deeply. Long live the rock, indeed.
