"'Rock Island Trail' tells a story of the building of the first bridge and railroad over the Mississippi River from Rock Island, Illinois, to Davenport, Iowa. The World Premier of the film was in the Quad Cities, USA, on April 27th, 1950. Republic stars took part in a pre-show promotional parade which extended from Silvis, Illinois, the Home Yard of the mighty Rock Island Lines, at the time the largest rail yard in the world, to the theater in Rock Island, Illinois, and included John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and Rock Island Railroad employees.

The film is set in the pre-Civil War period. The passenger cars have clerestory ridges in the roofs, a feature not available until after the Civil War.

Enjoyable "period piece" western

Rock Island Trail is centered on the building of a railroad bridge over the Mississippi River.

Forrest Tucker (as Reed Loomis) is the head honcho of the outfit in charge of building the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi River between Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa in 1856. He must battle rival paddle wheel steamer and stagecoach lines to break their monopoly on transport.

An expansion storyline told with gusto, humour and the usual fictitious fun stuff interspersed throughout, which is conflicts in the form of shootouts, fistfights, ship ramming into the bridge setting it on fire, an Indian attack at the end and a mop fight (no joke!). It's lighthearted entertaining fare with Forest Tucker playing a hero for a change, and he does really well. Pity he didn't make more as a lead. I also liked the snappy dialogue and the song.
