[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by route_rock There are still 4 routes from Chicago to Omaha... you know what, all the lines left see a LOT of traffic.[/quote] In reply to route_rock's comments: Last night I looked at a 1974 Rock Island dispatcher's sheet (posted at another group) for trains through Ottawa, Illinois, and I was shocked by how many trains were running. Fifteen westbounds, and sixteen eastbounds on that day. A total of 31 trains that day! (For those not familiar with the R.I., Ottawa is about 70 miles west of Chicago on the double-track main line.) Anyway, it seems to me that things were really rolling on the Rock Island in its final years.
