Reply to "O Gauge Rock Island"

FYI Rock Island fans:  Many OGR members are aware that the former Rock Island Technical Society "derailed" back around 2018.  There are rumors as to what happened.  Since OGR rules won't permit such stuff to be printed here on the forum with good reason, I searched Google and found a new site devoted to The Rock at www.rockislandreporter.com

The Inaugural Issue (December 2013) and issues through the May 2021 issue can be read online at no charge.  They do accept donations.  Afterall, there's no such thing as a free lunch in any depot diner in Century 21!  The December 2013 issue pretty well explains what happened at the RITS and why the Society  disbanded.

So board the Rock Island Reported to insure that The Rock Island Line remains a Mighty Fine Road!

Item:  The late C&W singer Sonny James kept The Rock alive in the late 60's with his recording of "68 Rock Island Line".  James' new toe tapper version which can be seen on YouTube isn't bad at all.
