Einige Jahrhunderte später haben sich dann >b>Karl der Große und Widukind in den Sachsenkriegen unweit von hier erbitterte Schlachten geliefert, so z. B. im Wiehengebirge bei Blasheim.

Scott Dolanc with RRHMA makes sparks fly on the side of UP 5511 inside the former Rock Island shop building in Silvis. This was a staged photo during the night photo session fundraiser for RRHMA set up by Dave Zeman. UP 3985 can be seen to the left.

The line-up of locomotives is still impressive at the NRE site in Silvis, Illinois. Think of all the history at the site from locomotive design to paint liveries.
CP 5871 has been rebuilt and repainted by NRE in Silvis and was released yesterday. The first CPKC SD40-2 was on Iowa Interstate’s transfer from Silvis to West Davenport where it stopped in Rock Island to change engines allowing me to grab an uncoupled roster. The CP 5871 was running and could see service immediately at Nahant. March 6, 2026
Much of the Rock Island's diesel fleet found a new home after the 1980 shutdown but the 18 CRI&P U30C's seen here languished at Silvis until they were cut up in 1989. A few of us (including Godfather Dziobko) were here to shoot some new Chrome Crankshaft releases from the shop when I saw them here and took the shot.

Various motors from various lineages await their fate at NRE's former Silvis Shops. NRE has closed this facility and all these motors will be either scrapped, or find new homes,
With PESI-14 tied down on the mainline, the 0900 SISW-14 departs Silvis on its transfer run to Rock Island and the CPKC.
Even though the SD38-2's have been back in service for a while, I still go out of my way to see them as much as I can.

Milwaukee Road (MOPX) 156 is shoved into the Silvis Transfer in East Moline, IL with a destination of RRHMA. I did not have seeing this engine on my bingo card for 2026, especially so close to former Milwaukee Road territory.
MILW 156 will be on display at RRHMA during the excursions on 9/26 and 9/27.
SIBI-03 is tied down in the yard at Silvis with 513 and 516 while a switch crew departs with CBBI-02 to pick up a unit ethanol train from Patriot Fuels in Annawan.

Ando como hormiguita por tu espalda
ando por la quebrada dulce de la seda
vengo de las alturas de tus nalgas
hacia el oro que se derrama y se me enreda.
Tú te vuelves pidiendo el cielo
apuntando a la luz con flores
y como lazarillos son los sabores
en tu jardÃn de anhelos.

Former SP GP9R 3835 sits nose to nose with former IC GP10 8258 in the scrap line at NRE in Silvis, IL.
While the 8258 is still marked for Illinois Central on the sides, it has a faded Chicago Central green diamond logo on the nose!

We are at Silvis Yard on the Rock Island in October 1972 as the Lafaytte Coal Train Power set brings in a junk train from the east. Silvis Today is an important part of the Iowa Interstate. Back then it was the heart of the Rock. Bill Riebe photo.
Silvi Paese, a quaint village perched on the hills of Abruzzo, Italy, is steeped in history and rustic charm. The photograph captures an ancient wooden door, its surface weathered and scarred by the passage of time. The once sturdy planks now bear the marks of countless seasons, with cracks and splinters testifying to years of exposure to the elements. The door, though aged and worn, stands as a silent sentinel to the stories and lives that have passed through its threshold.
The facade surrounding the door is equally ravaged by time. Large sections of the stucco have crumbled away, revealing the underlying bricks of the wall. The exposed brickwork, with its irregular shapes and worn edges, adds a layer of texture and history to the scene. The wall, like the door, tells a tale of endurance and resilience, having withstood the wear and tear of centuries. The decay, rather than diminishing its beauty, enhances the rustic allure of the structure, evoking a sense of nostalgia and timelessness.
Silvi Paese itself is a place where history and tradition are deeply intertwined. Situated in the province of Teramo, this medieval village boasts a rich cultural heritage. The narrow, winding streets are lined with buildings that reflect the architectural styles of different eras, from the medieval period to the Renaissance. The village offers stunning views of the Adriatic Sea, which has influenced its history and economy for centuries. Once a strategic lookout point, Silvi Paese played a crucial role in the defense against pirate invasions and other maritime threats.
The surrounding region of Abruzzo is known for its picturesque landscapes and historical significance. Nestled between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, the area is dotted with ancient villages, castles, and churches. The region's history dates back to Roman times and is rich with legends and folklore. Silvi Paese, with its weathered door and crumbling facade, is a microcosm of this historical tapestry, encapsulating the passage of time and the enduring spirit of the Abruzzese people.

A pair of Iowa Interstate ES44AC's glide down the mainline at Silvis, IL in front of the massive former Rock Island shop with a Peoria to Silvis manifest train. Peaking between the buildings is RRHMA's newest acquisition, Metra F40C 611.

The business train slows to a stop at the Turnaround at Silvis yard for a crew change and a few supplies. The train is heading to Pittsburgh where it will be used to entertain guests near the US Open next week.

IAIS 714 leading PEDAV-09 is tied down on the main while BISI-09 lands on 1 Track in Silvis, IL.
I had the drone hovering over the old pedestrian bridge pier and although I may have been slightly higher than the old bridge, this certainly gives the feel for what it could have been.

Inbound power off a train from Chicago heads for the shop at Silvis. F7A-UP U30C-GP40. Less than a year to go for "the Mighty Fine Line."
National Railway Equipment in Silvis, IL completed the new Rock Island 1275 last week. Iowa Interstate's Rock Island heritage was at NRE for wheel work and the pair were put together for a few photos.
While the new 1275 isn't completely accurate, it looks pretty dang sharp! The Eldon, IA depot museum is going to be very proud to have this on display in front of the depot.

With the yard crew now on CBBI's power, they didn't waste anytime getting the outbound ready to go. After a few moves, the crew would break up the power leaving 509 and 516 to run CBBI alone while 513 would pilot the 2nd eastbound, SIBI, later in the night.
That's Tom Farence down below, wishing just like me that BICB's rear-end wasn't sitting so far east.
