Wear a notable Great Plains railroad story with this Kansas Pacific Railway Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt. The company began as the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad, then resumed construction west from Kansas City in 1863. By 1870, its trains reached Denver, joining Kansas and Colorado through a route that helped complete a coast-to-coast rail network. Its history continued through Jay Gould's effective control and the 1880 consolidation into the Union Pacific. A considered choice for railway collectors and regional history enthusiasts.
The Kansas Pacific Railway began as the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad, organized in 1855. No construction took place before the Civil War. In 1863, John C. Frémont and Samuel Hallett reorganized it as the Union Pacific, Eastern Division, a federally authorized railroad independent of the Union Pacific Railroad. Construction began west from Kansas City in September 1863, and service reached Lawrence in 1864 and Junction City in 1866. In March 1869, Congress renamed the company the Kansas Pacific Railway. Its route crossed Kansas through Salina and Fort Hays, then continued into Colorado. The line reached Kit Carson in March 1870; its branches met at Comanche Crossing on August 15, and trains reached Denver that month. The Kansas City-to-Denver connection completed a coast-to-coast railway network, though river crossings still interrupted some journeys. The company received government land grants along its route, and its main line helped open transportation and settlement across the central Great Plains. In 1874, Union Pacific investor Jay Gould gained effective control. In 1880, the Kansas Pacific and Denver Pacific were consolidated into the Union Pacific. The former Kansas Pacific main line remains an integral part of the Union Pacific network.
