Set your phone beside a favorite piece of railroad history with this Chicago and North Western Railway foldable mobile phone display stand. The CNW name recalls the North Western’s long Chicago-centered network and its connections across the Midwest, from the Omaha Road to the Twin Cities. It is a practical desk companion for rail fans, collectors, and commuters who appreciate the ball-and-bar tradition, the 1972 Employee Owned identity, and CNW’s later place in Union Pacific history.
Chicago and North Western Railway, commonly called the North Western and using reporting mark CNW, was chartered on June 7, 1859, after purchasing assets of the bankrupt Chicago, St. Paul and Fond du Lac Railroad. Its system traced its origin to the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad, chartered in 1836 and operating from December 1848; the two merged on February 15, 1865. The railroad expanded through acquisitions including the Sioux City and Pacific, Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley, Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western, Minneapolis and St. Louis, and Chicago Great Western. It leased the Omaha Road in 1957 and merged it in 1972. Employee ownership that year brought the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company name and the Employee Owned logo. After later restructurings, the original Chicago and North Western Railway name returned in 1994. Union Pacific purchased the company in April 1995 and integrated the CNW system into Union Pacific Railroad.
