    The Chicago, Burlington, and Northern Railroad Company was constructed by the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad in 1877. The Chicago, Burlington, and Northern built the railroad line along the west bank of the Mississippi River and in 1896 had three daily trains each way from St. Paul, St. Louis and Chicago. Its connection to the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy gave it direct routes to Council Bluffs, Omaha Des Moines, Kansas City, Streater, Peoria, Quincy, Lincoln and other large cities in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, and Missouri. Connections made travel to Texas and the Pacific coast possible as well as sites in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Denver, Colorado, and Deadwood, South Dakota. The Chicago, Burlington, and Northern merged into the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy in 1899.
