a sizeable chunk of the RI remains in use today however... <br /> <br />a what if of sorts. if the rock island had a decent north south route, say GM&O for example would it have been in a better position. looking at a map of the old rock island routes it had to get where it was going the long way. it didn't seem like there was a logical way to get from memphis or texas or anywhere down that way to chicago. maybe it had no traffic like that but going from memphis back to KC and then meander into chicago. or would the rock island have been better suited to fit into another railroad...other than the obvious UP. <br /> <br />sorry about beating the dead horse, but i like to hear the smart people talk.
