About This Design

Rock Island Railroad Speed Logo Post Card

Rock Island Railroad Speed Logo Post Card

From www.railphotoexpress.biz Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad Company, by name Rock Island Railroad, or The Rock, A railroad company founded in 1847 as the Rock Island and La Salle Railroad Company to build a line from Rock Island to La Salle, Ill. By 1866 its lines extended from Chicago to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Management in the late 19th century was extremely conservative, but new interests took over in 1901. By 1907 the line attained its peak length of 14,270 miles in 13 states, but this rapid expansion impaired its credit and it was reorganised in 1917 and again in 1947. In the 1960s the Rock Island again began to decline. Merger discussions with other railroads failed, and it began bankruptcy proceedings in March 1975. Federal loan guarantees kept it running, but in January 1980 a federal judge ordered the railroad liquidated on the grounds that there was no way of reorganising it for profitable operation. Its properties were sold off piecemeal in the early 1980s

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
