Well here we are at MWMon again, seems like starting a new week comes quicker all the time. Its just before 0900 on the east coast (Georgia) and again I can do an early posting. This week, again one of my favorite fallen flags, the Rock Island RR. Today, the Rock is shown as interpreted by Marx in the 1950's with his version of a work caboose. This one is considered by Marx as one of his "deluxe" plastic freights likely due to its size and complexity. It came both with and without a searchlight - this one obviously does not have the light but does have the mounting holes for it.

Anyway the Rock Island covered many states in the mid-west including Tx, Ok, La, Il, and others until after 3 bankruptcy's it was finally liquidated and sold in 1980.

Best wishes for a great week

Don
