| Description: |
This is one of several former Rock Island cars I saw in Abliene, KS on Wednesday, 5-23-2012. Some of the other information is gone or painted over, but the stylized "R" tells who used to own this car! Built date is 12-79 so it wasn't very old when the Rock went out of business in March, 1980. |

This picture was taken from farther away than the rest. Even so, we can still see a hint of the "R" on the right side. Abilene, KS: 5-23-2012. |

| Description: |
This one probably is NOT a former Rock Island car: the paint is a lighter shade and there is no evidence of the "R" or "Route ROCK" slogan, etc., plus the lettering on the side is different. CAUTION: there is a vulgar term painted on the side of this car and I didn't see it until I had downloaded the picture from my digital camera. If this is offensive, I'll gladly remove this photo. |

MWCX 462662 |
| Description: |
The last of the former Rock Island cars I saw in Abilene, KS, on 5-23-2012. The "Rote ROCK" slogan is still partly visible but someone did a good job of covering over the "R"! |
