Rock Island Railroad Speed Logo Trucker Hat
From www.railphotoexpress.biz
Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad Company, by name Rock Island Railroad, or The Rock, A railroad company founded in 1847 as the Rock Island and La Salle Railroad Company to build a line from Rock Island to La Salle, Ill. By 1866 its lines extended from Chicago to Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Management in the late 19th century was extremely conservative, but new interests took over in 1901. By 1907 the line attained its peak length of 14,270 miles in 13 states, but this rapid expansion impaired its credit and it was reorganized in 1917 and again in 1947.
In the 1960s the Rock Island again began to decline. Merger discussions with other railroads failed, and it began bankruptcy proceedings in March 1975. Federal loan guarantees kept it running, but in January 1980 a federal judge ordered the railroad liquidated on the grounds that there was no way of reorganizing it for profitable operation. Its properties were sold off piecemeal in the early 1980s

really cheap for such high durable long lasting quality using different color inks. I think its because they mass produce for a lot of customers is why how they can deliver good lasting quality that is environmental friendly without compromising durability. was great. but light colors or light color letters on dark background has not been best looking unless if its white on black and not light blue on black.

Custom Foam Trucker Hat, White and Black

The hat fits great. Great quality. I’m not crazy about the white on the hat. It’ll get dirty easily. A darker color would probably be better. I’ve been to the Strasburg Railroad several times. They don’t sell hats like this. Only the striped engineers hats. The colors look great! The image quality is fantastic! I’m just now crazy about the white on the hat. I added some Strasburg lapel pins to my hat!
