GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of Corn Belt Route history into your daily travels. Founded in 1885, the railroad grew from a regional line near St. Paul into a multi-state carrier connecting Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City. Oelwein, Iowa, became its headquarters and principal shop site, while changing routes and locomotive power shaped its story. This backpack brings that distinctive Midwestern railway heritage along for commutes, study days, and weekend outings.
Founded by Alpheus Beede Stickney in 1885 as the Minnesota and Northwestern Railroad, the line began as a regional route between St. Paul and the Iowa state line. Its predecessor history included a 1835 charter for a proposed railroad west from Chicago; construction never began under that charter, and the building rights passed to the Minnesota and Northwestern in 1854. Construction south from St. Paul toward Dubuque began in 1884. The Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City Railroad acquired the Minnesota and Northwestern in 1887 and developed routes to Omaha, St. Joseph, and Chicago. Reorganized as the Chicago Great Western in 1892, it grew into a multi-state carrier linking Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City. Oelwein, Iowa, became its headquarters and principal shop site, with construction completed there in 1899. Known as the Corn Belt Route, the company adopted diesel power across its system by 1950 and ended passenger operations on September 30, 1965. After years of merger discussions, it joined the Chicago and North Western Railway on July 1, 1968. The successor abandoned most former Chicago Great Western trackage.
