Serving the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas, the Rock Island was once a prosperous freight and passenger carrier, as well as providing commuter services in the greater Chicago area. It had strong competition from other railroads and, despite several attempts at merger/acquisition, the Rock Island failed to secure a partner; the Union Pacific (UP) had planned to acquire the Rock Island, but the deterioration of its physical plant caused the UP to back away. This ultimately forced the Rock Island to shut down and begin the liquidation of its engines, equipment and track; ironically, the UP ended up with the largest share of the Rock Island assets. Several railroads other than the UP today operate portions of the Rock Island trackage. For auction is an employee pass from the Rock Island for the year 1932.
