Peoria Rocket I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph both Rock Islands Rockets back in the 1970s.
This one was the first of the two, the Peoria Rocket, perhaps, and it happens to be powered by the distinctive bicentennial unit of the time: number 652 (it would later be preserved).
The train is seen traveling eastbound (inbound) and photographed from Marley Road in New Lenox, Illinois.

Peoria Rocket
I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph both Rock Islands Rockets back in the day.
This one was the first of the two, the Peoria Rocket, perhaps, and it happens to be powered by the distinctive bicentennial unit of the time: number 652 (it would later be preserved).
The train is seen traveling eastbound (inbound) and photographed from Marley Road in New Lenox, Illinois.

From the Quad Cities
This is where Marley Road flies over the Rock Island, just a bit east of New Lenox, Illinois. The photograph was made in the waning days of Rock Island intercity passenger train service. The train pictured is the Quad Cities Rocket.

Marley Road
This is where Marley Road flies over the Rock Island, just a bit east of New Lenox, Illinois. Time is running out for this road, a few years at the most; it is a real favorite for rail enthusiasts. The train is a westbound with a couple of General Electric U-boats in charge.

Marley Road: Forty-Two Years Later
Here is a another place I was able to have made a photograph as a teenager: where Marley Road flies over the Rock Island, just a bit east of New Lenox.
The top photograph was made in the waning days of Rock Island intercity passenger train service. The train pictured is either the Peoria Rocket or Quad Cities Rocket. The second image was made when I happened to be in the area forty-two years later. The line in the distance is the former Wabash line down to Bement, Illinois.

Marley Road: Forty-Two Years Later
Here is one more place I was able to have made photographs as a teenager: where Marley Road flies over the Rock Island, just a bit east of New Lenox.
The top photograph was made in the waning days of Rock Island intercity passenger train service. The train pictured is either the Peoria Rocket or Quad Cities Rocket. The four contemporary photographs were made from the same vantage point, with the same equipment from yesterday’s post now headed back inbound. The line in the distance is the former Wabash line down to Bement, Illinois—seen from the other side from yesterday’s post.
Five images by Richard Koenig; four of them taken April 7th 2018.
