Hello, I have recently found a rail plate with "Rock Island on it with no other numbers that I can see. It is pretty rusted. I was looking for any information about this item, what area it may be from and possible date used. D. Harnew

I don't know much about CRI&P but it's a screw spike tie plate. DL&W used screw spikes in the 20s and 30s, before going back to the cheaper and easier standard spikes. DL&W mainline at Wilawana, 1930s. Attachment: Wil Sec77 DSC03286.jpg [ 226.51 KiB | Viewed 2516 times ] |
