About this title

Synopsis

Fascinating history of the Rock Island Railroad and its 43 year effort to bring streamlined service to its customers. The author provides a detailed look at the Rock Island's fleet of streamliners which came from just about every major car and locomotive builder and embraced a diverse array of rolling stock. The author also analyses the valiant effort that the Rock Island and its employees made to succeed and how several external factors defeated them. With locomotive and passenger car rosters. Illustrated throughout with color photos. With bibliography. 176 pages with extensive index.
