Some nice historical footage. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?sectio ... id=7361042 Paul Meincke More: Bio, News Team March 31, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- As the nation's premier rail hub, Chicago has long been home to some of the country's best known railroads. One of them faded into history on this day 30-years ago. With the help of those who remember it fondly, ABC7's Paul Meincke takes us for a ride on the Rock Island Lines. It was immortalized in song. The first railroad to cross the Mississippi. The first railroad robbed by Jesse James. The first to provide daily passenger service between Chicago and Los Angeles. |
