Having worked for the Rock for 18 years in the Chicago Terminal as Switchman, Conductor, Yardmaster and Local Chairman UTU, started when I was 19 in 1962 and worked until March 1980, If you really want to know why the Rock Island went down ask the Crown Family. After the Rock went to CSX (Clinchfield-CC&O, Erwin, TN,) 9 years and finished back in Chicago with IAIS former Rock Island Route to the Bluffs. The rock employees worked them selfs to the bone to keep that railroad running and upper managemnet fought us at every turn, until we had enough and thook them to the street. <br />The Rock management could not run the route from Chicago to the Bluffs but IAIS can and make money doing it, that should tell you about the Idiots that were running the Rock Island, Isaw it first hand.
