Steam Railroads of
Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota |
| Steam railroading became an
integral part of the communities in northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota in the late 1800s. The railroad provided
hundreds of jobs and the ability to transport both goods and
passengers across the Midwest. The Chicago & North Western
Railway, the Chicago Great Western Railroad, the Minneapolis
& St. Louis Railway, the Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific
Railroad, and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific
Railroad (called the Milwaukee Road by employees) served
five principal gateways, which included Chicago, Illinois;
Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; Omaha, Nebraska; and Kansas
City and St. Louis, Missouri. Operating steam engines
required tremendous manpower, and by the 1920s, some steam
passenger trains were replaced by more efficient motor cars,
fueled by oil-powered engines. Steam engines could no longer
compete with the reduced operating costs, smaller crew
requirements, and time savings provided by diesel, which
ultimately led to the fall of steam in 1955. |
