Take a story of American rail travel along on your next journey with this St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway passport cover. The Iron Mountain opened in 1856 to move iron ore toward St. Louis, linking a regional line with the changing landscape of transportation and commerce. From its 1883 acquisition by Jay Gould to its 1917 merger into Missouri Pacific, the railway offers a memorable connection for travelers, rail enthusiasts, and collectors of Missouri history.
The St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway, commonly known as the Iron Mountain, was an American railway company that operated from 1856 to 1917. It was established to carry iron ore from Iron Mountain to St. Louis, Missouri. Henry Gudon Marquand and his brother Frederick Marquand owned the railway before they were forced out through Jay Gould's railroad monopoly. In 1883, Gould acquired the company, making it part of a 9,547-mile rail system. On May 12, 1917, the railway was officially merged into the Missouri Pacific Railroad. That railroad later became part of Union Pacific through mergers between 1982 and 1997. The line's history also includes two train robberies: one at Gad's Hill on January 31, 1874, and another at Olyphant, Arkansas, on November 3, 1893. A heritage railroad using the same name operates about six miles of shortline in Cape Girardeau County, based in Jackson, Missouri.
