Rock Island Arsenal rail yard

[Frisco Kid]

I'm doing some research for a pal - here's his Rock Island question (a direct quote - poor grammar and all)

" i'm planning a move which will give me a larger space for a layout. my "prototype" is the rock island circa 1948-1952, so my plan is to model the illinois side of the mississippi on one side of the room and iowa on the other. i hope to make one of my peninsulas the rock island yard on what's now called arsenal island, and separate that peninsula from the other "legs" by modeling the mississippi's muddy water. i've been trying to find some pictures of that yard with no success. i've been to the rock island technical society website and there's nothing there that i could find referring to that yard. "

Can anybody out there point us in the right direction?

Have him join RITS. It has nominal cost, excellent
journals and gives him access to members that
are knowledgeable about the CRIP and supports
the efforts to maintain and preserve its history.
There is no free lunch, if the effort is not made
then there is no historically accurate record preserved
for him and posterity.
Good-Luck, PJB
