I just posted a thread about the Wreck of the Old 97 and now I have another question.

Where is? and What was The Rock Island Line and is it true, as Lonnie Donegan says in his preamble to his version of the song, that all the trains that went through the toll gate had to pay the man some money unless you livestock on board in which case you could use the line free of charge.

Happy New Year
