<br />Here is a link to a very interesting account on the end of the Rockets 1979. Some commentary as well on the state of the railroad during the reorganization period. <br /> <br />http://groups.google.com/group/misc.transport.rail.americas/msg/320c1658985c92f7?dmode=source <br /> <br /><b><i>"Between Silvis and Bureau, the RI had rebuilt the south track, and between Bureau and Joliet, it had rebuilt the north track. The rebuilt track generally was good for 60 mph while the other track was mostly 30 mph and even 15 mph in many places (pass train speeds)."</i></b>
