| Wabash Railroad
began in the earliest days of railroading. It was a
familiar name in Indiana and surrounding states. As
the sign says, the Wabash system began in 1838. It
began with construction of the Northern Cross Railroad in
Illinois. By the end of 1856 the line reached from
Springfield to the Indiana state line. Over the next
several years the Northern Cross became the Great Western,
then became part of the Toledo, Wabash and Western
Railroad. In 1877 the company was reorganized as the
Wabash Railway Company. Eventually the Wabash ran
from Kansas City, MO to Buffalo, NY with lines to Omaha,
Des Moines, Cleveland and Chicago. In 1964 the
Wabash Railroad and the New York, Chicago & St. Louis
Railroad (the "Nickel Plate Road") became part
of the Norfolk and Western. |
