How about the old Rock Island Line. Being a Quad-Cities native, that is the one I miss. Alot of my family worked over at the Silvis Yard. The building is still there. They use it to repair locomotives. The old yard is over-grown with weeds and most of the tracks have been long-since torn out. The ones that are left are filled with hundreds of defunct engines lined up on them. You can still get a good view of the place from the I-88 / Ill. 92 overpass. My grandpa was a supervisor there. When I was 5/6 yrs. old, he took me over there and we got into one of the switchers and drove it out to "the hump" and back. Most all of the main lines are still being used by the Iowa Interstate Railroad.
