Rock Island 2571
Title:  Rock Island 2571
Description:  Built in 1927 by Standard Steel Car Company. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific operated from Chicago to the Twin Cities, Kansas, Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. Its Golden State route joined the Southern Pacific at Tucumcari for through passenger service to California. In addition to long-distance passenger trains, CRI&P operated a commuter route from the Loop to Blue Island and Joliet. In the 1920s, the railroad upgraded its fleet of commuter coaches with a new arched-roof design. The new cars were utilitarian, with rattan seating and minimal interior decoration. Compared to standard long-haul coaches of the era, their lightweight (one-third less) and high capacity (nearly half again as many riders) made the commuter service more efficient. The fleet remained in regular use until the late 1970s, when they were replaced with modern bi-level cars. CRI&P 2571 was donated to IRM by a member. It is operational.
