Biographical/Historical note
The Cedar Rapids and Chicago Railroad Company was incorporated in Iowa on Jun. 28, 1886. Although the original intent of the Company was to construct a line from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Chicago, Illinois, the nearly 42-mile line instead stretched from Cedar Rapids to Manchester, Iowa. On Oct. 27, 1888, the line was sold and conveyed to the Dubuque & Sioux City Railroad Company (D&SC). The company was officially dissolved by the IC on Mar. 6, 1953; see IC Addenda, call number IC:A 1 J1 for Minutes and Certificates of Dissolution.
