Album Info:This route is one that I've just never taken the time to railfan. This is part of UP's ex-SP exx-SSW exxx Rock Island Golden State Route from Topeka to Herington Kansas. If the SP were still around, I'd railfan this line a lot. Traffic has dropped since then making railfanning hit or miss.

Rock Island Bridge
Title:  Rock Island Bridge
Description:  Look closely and you can barely make out Rock Island Lines on this bridge. It is about the only remaining artifact from what was once a very busy CRIP junction.
