Fans of Rock Island Lines posted two photos with the comment: "Old natick yard Moline Illinois. Two tracks furthest right are the rocks right of way. RH can be seen behind house on left. To me the walk way for the C.R.& P stations roof line can be seen bottom right of second pic."
[A comment talks about 13th St. and 4th Ave. Other comments gave the location of the Silvis Yard, which I think is wrong.]

| 2, the size was doubled |
An 1894 topo map is too old to show the yard.

| 1894/94 Davenport Quad @ 62,500 |
And a 1949 map is too new to show the yard. Unfortunately, there are no topo maps between these dates.

| 1949/49 Davenport Quad @ 24,000 |
