Crossing the Rock Island
Title:  Crossing the Rock Island
Description:  I think that this picture is south of Inver Grove towards Rosemount at the CGW/ RI interlocking. You can see the double headed signal protecting the interlocking as the RI main headed south to Iowa and Kansas City. The CGW turned more southeast toward Chicago. When the CNW took over the RI, they now longer used the CGW route between the Twin Cities and Chicago. It was not long before they began ripping it up and tearing it out! Thank God that they did NOT get control of the Milwaukee double track with the Amtrak route between Chicago, Milwaukee and the Twin Cities. Who knows the things that then might have happened! One thing is perhaps true... the RI main south of the Twin Cities thru Albert Lea would probably been torn up also!
