Rock Island Ft Worth last day
Author: tomstp

In the past I have posted pictures from the Rock's last day in Ft Worth.  I knew a few had been missing and just today found them.

Note the switcher completely missing its pilot.  Such was the shape of some of the power.

There were several of us in the engine terminal taking pictures and some are seen in this photo..  No employees were anywhere on the property.

In case someone is wondering about the reference to the "Crown Family" and the Rock Island, here's a quick read...

        I knew about the Henry Crown clown and his hatred of the Rock Island. I very viscious money man and I understood he was a little off his rocker in the last few years too.
