) was an American
Class I railroad
. It was also known as the
Rock Island Line
, or, in its final years,
The Rock
.
At the end of 1970, it operated 7,183 miles of road on 10,669 miles of track; that year it reported 20,557 million ton-miles of revenue freight and 118 million passenger-miles. (Those totals may or may not include the former

The song "
Rock Island Line
", a spiritual from the late 1920s first recorded in 1934, was inspired by the railway.
