NAHX 65520, B-end |
Description: |
This car is one of two former Rock Island cars I saw in the "Lower Yard" at Rock Island, IL on 4-22-2012. The slogan usually read "Route ROCK" but this one has "THE ROCK" so modelers and detailers, here's a bit of a switch for you! |

NAHX 65520, side view |
Description: |
A straight-on or broadside view. Notice the "THE ROCK" slogan, the stylized "R" and the custom (?) font which the Rock seemed to use for its lettering. This would be a neat car to model! Rock Island, IL: 4-22-2012. |

NAHX 65520, A-end |
Description: |
This view is from the A-end, looking to the west in this case. This car still has the ACI label. The builder's logo, near the lower right corner, is an outline map of the USA. Rock Island, IL: 4-22-2012. |

NAHX 65579, looking east |
Description: |
NAHX 65579, another former Rock Island car, at Rock Island, IL's "Lower Yard" on 4-22-2012. The shade from that tree was great to walk through but boy, did it make it tough to get a good photo! |

NAHX 65579, B-end |
Description: |
This picture turned out better than I thought it would. Even with the shade and shadows, the brake wheel is still visible as is some of the lettering on the slope sheet. The same builder, apparently, constructed this car as well as the other as the USA outline map is still clerly seen near the truck. Rock Island, IL: 4-22-2012. |

NAHX 65579, close-up of B-end |
Description: |
This photo is a closer-in view of Photo 5 and it shows some of the lettering, information, etc. found on this car (and possibly others?). Of interest to me is the warning, "No exit ladder" below the top rung of the end ladder! Rock Island, IL: 4-22-2012. |
