Rocky Mountain Rocket
The ''Rocky Mountain Rocket'' was a streamlined passenger train of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. Rock Island's train numbers 7 and 8 ran from Chicago's LaSalle Street Station to Denver's Union Station and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The ''Rocky Mountain Rocket'' ran from 1939 to 1966; the train was discontinued prior to the creation of Amtrak in 1971.
== Route description==
In 1942 the ''Rocky Mountain Rocket'' ran on a 19.5 hour schedule from Denver to Chicago. An extra quarter hour was required for the Colorado Springs Section. At Limon, Colorado the ''Rocky Mountain Rocket'' was split on its westbound run. The bulk of the train would head northwest to Denver on the Union Pacific's Main Line to Denver, while the rest of the train would head southwest on Rock Island tracks to Colorado Springs. Eastbound, the ''Rocky Mountain Rocket'' was combined at Limon for the remainder of its trip to Chicago. A similar split was made in Belleville, Kansas. The eastbound train was split with a section continuing to Union Station, Kansas City, Missouri, while the remainder continued on to Chicago.〔
