GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Make room for notes, plans, or travel ideas alongside the story of the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City Railway. Founded in 1885, the line grew into the Chicago Great Western, linking major Midwestern destinations and earning recognition as the Corn Belt Route. Oelwein, Iowa, became its headquarters and principal shop site, while diesel power and the 1968 merger mark later milestones. A thoughtful notebook for railway enthusiasts, history students, collectors, and anyone who enjoys recording ideas inspired by the past.
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.
