Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Rock Island Line by Johnny Cash. Trivia: The line was actually a conglomeration of lines starting in Chicago. It was supposed to run to the west coast, but didn't quite make it. It went as far as Limon, where it split and one line went to Colorado Springs and the other Denver. Those routes are now what is I-70 and Hwy 24. Some of it is now "Rock Island Trail" from Colorado Springs to Peyton.

If you like this song try these versions and the original from Lead Belly (Huddie Ledbetter) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2018 Oops! Here’s the original Lomax recording. Ledbetter was with the Lomax brothers when they recorded this. He polished the song & took it commercial. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
