It was in it's red and yellow dress back then. That is one fantastic looking unit! My heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in bringing the #652 back from out of my past to join me in the present!

Beautiful picture!!!!!! Date: 01/19/17 16:51 Re: Rock Island 652 out of the paint shop yesterday Author: BruceStikkers Rock Island is definitely supposed to be two words. The angle of the photo may be what makes it look like one word here.

Date: 01/20/17 07:51 Re: Rock Island 652 out of the paint shop yesterday Author: The_Chief_Way "much better this time" but I still don't think its right.
I'd want to see more of a side view, but I don't think there is correct spacing in the road name. Someone else who really knows the "ROCKISLAND" has questioned the red color. Lets see it in sunlight. |
