Rock Island at Rest - a photo on Flickriver

            The Railroading Heritage of Midwest America held its annual "Walk Amongst Giants" fundraiser on June 29, 2024. The fundraiser allows visitors to go inside the former Rock Island steam shops in Silvis, IL to view the progress of restoration efforts on UP 3985 and UP 5511 (for a fee). 

As part of the event, Iowa Interstate sent Rock Island heritage unit #513 to be stationed outside the RRHMA shops for display.
