I was always amused at how ironic it was that the CRI&P renamed itself "The Rock" just as it broke apart and went belly up like a big, sickly-blue whale. I still see ex-Rock Island coal hoppers running in Ohio on the NS. They've been partly re-painted, but you can still see that gawdawful light blue paint and that big logo of "The Rock" on the sides of most of them. <br /> <br />One thing the Rock also left behind was some great station archtiecture. The stations in Council Bluffs, Washington and Atlantic, Iowa were beautiful examples of Midwestern depot design.
