The presentation will feature a large collection of 35mm color slides taken of the Rock Island from the time period 1970-1980. Of historical note, this was the final decade that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad existed. Locations to be featured include Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, Waurika, El Reno, Oklahoma City, Little Rock and Amarillo just to name a few.
