Rock Island Railroad Links and Information

Here you can find plenty of information and links to several excellent websites which are either based on or feature the Rock Island. The reason why this information was not included on the previous page highlighting the Rock Island was simply to keep things more nice and tidy for you, the visitor.

Anyway, as with all websites featured across American Rails, I have visited those listed below and can attest to their worth and value. If you are after information and/or pictures about the Rock you should find these websites of great value.

Rock Island Technical Society: The official historical society dedicated to preserving the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific. They have an astronomical amount of historic and preserved information on the railroad and are always interested in new members. If you have any interest in the Rock and are interested in helping them please become a member!

SD45.com: Fine website which features galleries of many fallen flags, including the Rock.

Rock Island Video: Short video of a Rock Island freight one year before the railroad's liquidation (1979).

Rock Island Photo Archive from RRPictureArchives.net: Another fine website that includes galleries of most fallen flags, including a large collection of Rock Island photos.

Rock Island Photo Archive from George Elwood's Fallen Flags Website: In my humble opinion, the best archival database of fallen flag photos on the Internet.

Also, if you might be interested please visit, and consider joining our American Rails Forums; a family-friendly community where there are plenty of knowledgeable folks to help answer any questions you might have.

Lastly, feel free to search the web or American Rails conveniently from the Google search box below if you're after more information on the Rock Island. As always, if I can be of assistance in any way please do not hesitate to contact me!
