Thank you David.
Rock Island does not sound familiar to me. I believe Bob had mentioned a different railroad.
I had thought Central Midland but I can`t find anything on that, except for a later railroad.
One historian of whom I have high regard told me that General Palmer had helped the Mexicans build a railroad by that name but I can`t find anything on it.
Did believe that it had the word Midland or Central in the name however.
Would you check and let me know, and if there were timetables from other railroads there as you suggest, the names of those too.

I am willing to spend the time looking for links. It will be through Palmer or Gould, I have that hunch at present.

Without my going searching, I thought Rock Island was around New York area!
