GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Add a compact piece of railroad heritage to a kitchen, office, or collection display with this Wabash Railroad square porcelain fridge magnet. The WAB name recalls a far-reaching system whose routes connected major cities across the Midwest and Great Lakes region, along with a history of predecessor lines and later corporate change. A memorable keepsake for railfans, collectors, and admirers of classic American transportation design.
The Wabash Railroad, reporting mark WAB, was a Class I railroad serving Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, and Ontario. Its name came from the Wabash River. The system grew through a long series of consolidations beginning with early predecessor lines, including the Northern Cross Railroad, the first railroad built in Illinois. The Toledo, Wabash and Western Railway, formed in 1865, was renamed Wabash Railway in 1877. Reorganizations created the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway in 1879 and the Wabash Railroad in 1889. Major connections included Chicago, Kansas City, Detroit, Buffalo, St. Louis, and Toledo, while its direct Kansas City-Detroit route was a key freight advantage. After foreclosure in 1915, the company was reorganized as the Wabash Railway. A new Wabash Railroad was organized in 1941. Norfolk and Western leased the line in 1964; the company remained in existence on paper until its formal merger in 1991. Its corporate legacy ultimately became part of Norfolk Southern.
