The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (CRI&P RW, sometimes called Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway(reporting marks CRIP, RI, ROCK) 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 Burlington-Rock Island Railroad.) The song “Rock Island Line”, a spiritual from the late 1920s first recorded in 1934, was inspired by the railway.

In today’s global economy, consumers have more purchasing and product options than they have ever had in human history. The most obvious reason is that buying American products creates jobs for US factories. But these manufacturing jobs also create other jobs in our US economy. Every cent that consumers spend on American-made goods holds and brings money into the U.S. economy. This helps our country avoid debt; the huge U.S. trade deficit leads to massive, unsustainable borrowing from other countries. Buying American-made goods does more than just support the companies who make them.
