Rock'in Out in 2011

Received the following via email from Kermit Geary, Jr.  Text, photos, and captions are his.

Working in the Blue Island IL area this week, I got to see many remnants of the old Baby Line...CRI & P!!!! (Chicago Rock Island & Pacific) And today (4-15-11), the Rock Island renaissance locomotive from the Iowa Interstate came into town! A fitting end to the week if I must say so myself.
