NAHX 65520, B-end
Title:  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
Title:  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.
