Over in Burlington IA., I've seen an Alco Switcher, one of the newest ones with the cab in the middle. It's an Ex-Rock and now works at a Lumber Factory just north of "Big Muddies", the old Rock Freight Depot now a Fine Dining Establishment. smile.gif

Casey,
I am familiar with the Quad Cities Railroad Educational Association, and as a matter of a fact, just learned about it at the Great American Train Show in Rock Island on Sunday. I signed up to be on their mailing list and told them that I would put some information on my page at http://www.rock-island.org to try and send them some interested persons to help with their efforts. They have some big plans... and I wish them the best! Anyone interested can contact them at:
