[RITSlist] Rock Island S1 switchers 598-599

[Paul Hunnell]

While I don't have dates, when the 598 & 599 were
first received, they worked the Chicago area for a
while.  The late Dick Campbell was a switchman on one
of them which was assigned to the Blue Island potato
house job as it had a broken drawbar, and that job
only required switching cars from one end of the
unit.
