  • those were the good ol' days when The Royal american Shows were a part of QC history. I wish they'd come back so I could share it with my kids.

  • thank you so much for posting this I love the rock Island an have been hoping to see these tpoys of clips or videos.

  • I rode that train in 1968 for a 5 month tour. It was actually two trains with four engines each due to the massive weight of the steel and iron from the rides and show. I remember the Rock Island portion of the trip due to the tracks not being of "passenger" train quality...with much vertical vibration as we hit each rail splice....

  • cool bet the track is LOTS better than shown here lol

  • Yes, it is now used by Union Pacific as one of their mainlines south of the Twin Cities.

  • I'd like to see that paint scheme on ES44AC's as well, 'twould be cool.

  • this track still there or not?

  • Thank you for posting some rare footage of my favorite RR. It would be nice to see these still around and that beautiful paint on todays technology.

  • Great video

  • This video is a wonderful bit of railroad history - many thanks for posting!
