Take the story of the Chicago Great Western Railway along on your daily routine. Founded as the Minnesota and Northwestern in 1885, the carrier grew to link Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City as the Corn Belt Route. Oelwein, Iowa, became its headquarters and principal shop center, while experiments in rail technology and trailer-on-flatcar freight helped define its identity. This tumbler celebrates a regional railroad whose routes and history still interest collectors today.
Founded by Alpheus Beede Stickney in 1885 as the Minnesota and Northwestern Railroad, the Chicago Great Western began as a regional line between St. Paul and the Iowa state line. Its predecessor, the Minnesota and North Western, started building south from St. Paul toward Dubuque in 1884. The Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City Railroad acquired it in 1887, then extended its reach to Omaha, St. Joseph, and Chicago. Reorganized as the Chicago Great Western in 1892, the carrier linked Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City across the Midwest. Oelwein, Iowa, became its headquarters and principal shop site; construction there was completed in 1899. Known as the Corn Belt Route, it developed a reputation for operational innovation, including early self-propelled railcars and trailer-on-flatcar freight service. It converted fully to diesel power by 1950. Passenger service ended on September 30, 1965. After a proposed merger was contested for four years, the railway joined the Chicago and North Western Railway on July 1, 1968. The successor abandoned most former Great Western track. Some former rights of way later became trails bearing the Great Western name.
