[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by C40-2</i> <br /><br />The Rock Island passenger service ran some of the oldest rolling stock in regular service during the late seventies. They produced some, shall we say, less than desirable results. If I remember correctly an older issue of TRAINS had an article on the Rock Islands' passenger service. The writer stated that most of RI's passenger cars were difficult to assemble together with two generations of electrical, heating and AC. <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Ed King contributed an article to Trains in the mid 1980s about his adventures working in The Rock's commuter train department in the late '70s before the new cars and locomotives arrived from the RTA.
