TKte spring there were fourteen different
lines of railroad running Into Omaha and,
with the coming of the Chicago Great Wei t
em on September 1, there are atlll fourteen
separate llnea running into the city. For
the Fremont, Elkorn It Missouri Valley
railroad wai merged Into the Northweetern

that corporation, while It hue lost none of
Ita significance or value to Omaha. And
those fourteen distinct railroad lines that
center In Omaha have all built their way
Into Omaba In the last forty years, ground
tng been formally broken for the Union
Faciflo on December 2, 183, with most Ira
preslve ceremonies. In these forty years
Omaha has outgrown the ambitions of its
most enthusiastic founders and much of
Ita growth can be traced to the centerig
of these different llnea of railway that hava
come Into the city by routes as diverse and
methods as different as can well be.
rJi building of the Union Paclflo was
nu yet It was the mere beginning of a tale
f railroad building and expansion that
would link Omaha to the union and make
it a center In a country aa large In expanse
as half the contingent of Europe and
luxuriant beyond the wildest dreams of
the early settlers.
First Survey to Omaha.

I terminal point.
First ( the neat's to Come,
these roads the Chicago A Northwest
was the first to reach Council Bluffs
the first railroad to reach the Iowa
of all of the roads. The amaalng wealth
ve country and the demand for a car
of supplies for the Union Paclflo had
t as a spur to the pew road and from
tntll March 15, 1867, It was continually
ting toward Its goal. Thi Chicago.
& Northwestern Railroad company
built to Clinton, la., In im. and In
was leased by the Galea &. Chicago
a. Meanwhile another Iowa road built
ward forty miles from Clinton and
; absorbed by the Galena & Chicago
n In 1S42. Then the Chicago & North'
iitern bought control of the CUcano A
county and through Lincoln. The road
reached the Platte river and transfer was
made to the B. ft M. by flatboat and
wagon and later only by flatboat. In 1871
the B. V M. gained possession of the
Omaha- A Southwestern and entered
Omaha. The B. sx M. had been started In
and Its acquisition of the Omaha A
Southwestern gave It a line between Omaha
and Flattsmouth.
The other local line, which received the
$irJ0,(XXVworth of bonds voted at the same
time, was the Omaha A Northwestern Rail
road company. It built out through
Washington county to Blair, then to Her
man and Tekamah and reached Oakland
before It was sold in 187S under foreclosure
proceedings and wss reorganised. In 187
the Bt. Paul A Sioux City Railroad com
pany secured possession of It snd two years
later sold It to the Chicago, Bt. Paul, Min
neapolis A Omaha, which atlU owns It.
For years this wss the only line between
Sioux City and Omaha.
It was In 18C9 that the Chicago, Rock
Island A Paclflo reached Council Bluffs. It
was the Chicago A Rock Islsnd company
then and had the record of having been the
first railroad to reach the Mississippi liver.
from where the Mississippi A Missouri rail
road had been built Into central Iowa be
fore It was bought by the Rock Islsnd
under foreclosure proceedings. In 1890 the
Rock Islsnd crossed the river and used the
Union Pacifle terminals In Omaha and
South Omaha and stretched tta awn line on
to Lincoln and Beatrice and was connected
with Denver and Colorado.
Outlet to Northwest.
The year ot 1869 was a wonderful one

Valley railroad was Incorporated on Janu
ary 10 of that year an began building
west from Fremont. In 1870 It reached
West Point and meanwhile connected with
the Bloux City A Pacifle and found an
outlet Into Omaha through Blair and the
present Minneapolis A Omaha line. In 18S3
the road built Into Omaha from Arling
ton and also built Its cut-oft from Irving
ton Into South Omaha, giving the Elkhorn
Its own Una Into Omaha proper.
In 1882 the Missouri Paclflo made a con
nection with the Union Paclflo at Papllllon
and entered Omaha. In the early '90s the
road built .Its own connection Into Omaha
by building a cut-off from the main line at
Union and coming up by way of Platts-
mouth. The Belt line, encircling the city
from the Webster street station, at F.f
teenth and Webster streets, and reaching
South Omaha. Is part of the Mhsourl
Paclflcv although It was originally a Union
Paclflo . enterprise. In 18S3 and 1884 the
Union Paclflo acquired rights to much of
the ground that the Belt line Is built on
by condemnation proceedings and through
ordinary buying.
A company had, been organised to build
the Belt line and stock was held by both
the Union Paclflo and Missouri Pacifle,
S. H. H. Clark was general manager of the
Union Pacifle at the time, but changed to
the Missouri Paclflo, where he became vice
president. Jay Gould was desirous of hav
Ing the Belt line and Clark: bought out
the Union Paclflo Interests personally be
fore they realised what was being done
and transferred the property to the Mis
souri Pacifle. The cost of buying out the
Union Pacific's lights was about 170,00
and the entire cost was not to exceed
8700,000. It la now used by the Elkhorn for
the Black Hills train, aa well as for regu
lar transfer service, and for the Missouri
Paclflo passenger trains.
Seme Reseat Arrivals.
The Wabash, Bt. Louis A Paclflo was ex
tended from Moberly, Mo., to Council
Bluffs In 1878, and Frank E. Moores, the
present mayor, was mace city passenger
and ticket agent. The road passed through
several financial embarrassments,, but its
aarvloe to St. Louis continued through all
of Its changes In name and ownership. In
101 the property reverted to the Wabash
railroad after all of Its changes In owner
ship.
The Chicago. Milwaukee A St. Paul
reached Council Bluffs on August L 1882,
and was the first railroad from the east to
run Its own sleepers Into Omaha. - The
road waa built Into Omaha from Marlon,
la. The trouble between the Mllwaukea
and the Rook Island on the one side and
the Union Paclflo on the other side over tha
use of tho bridge reached a climax In is9)
;! ended by the two companies using the
fortdH's and the Omaha and South Omaha
termlniiis.
Tha last road before the advent of the
Chicago Oiiat Western was the Illinois,
Central, which entered Omaha In January,
1900. The road extended as far as Tama,
la., when the extension was begun, and It
cost KQIMW to build tha 181 miles Into
the city. At one time It was thought
that It would have to cut through the hills
back" of Council Bluffs, but the Northwest
eia left a loophole alongside of Ita tracks
along the river and the road was built
through successfully. To enter Omaha the
Union Paoiflo bridge was passed by for the
first time In the history, of Omaha rail,
roads and the drawbridge of the Omaha
