Nostalgia & History > F-Unit Friday - Rock Island 675Date: 05/12/22 22:25 F-Unit Friday - Rock Island 675 Author: refarkas An unknown photographer using Agfachrome caught Rock Island 675 in an unknown location in October 1973. (Thanks to those who told me this was the "Rocket House" diesel shop in Chicago.)

Too bad the photographer did not label mount. Thanks for the interesting posting. ALLEN Date: 05/13/22 03:27 Re: F-Unit Friday - Rock Island 675 Author: GPutz That's probably the "Rocket House" in Chicago. Gerry
