Historical Context
At the time of the organization of the Minnesota Valley Railroad Company, and at the instance of its incorporators, there was organized the Sioux City & St. Paul Railroad Company, to build a railroad from Sioux City to the south line of Minnesota. On April 7, 1869, the name of the Minnesota Valley Railroad company was changed to St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad company, organized with a capital stock of $2,400,000.
In 1871 a contract was made between these two companies by the terms of which the Sioux City & St. Paul company completed the line of road from St. James to LeMars, Iowa, where connection was made with the Iowa Falls & Sioux City railroad for Sioux City. For several years the line was operated by the two companies - from St. Paul to St. James by the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad company, and from St. James to Sioux City by the Sioux City & St. Paul Railroad company - both companies controlled by the same interests.
On May 25, 1880, a reorganization was brought about and the line, together with others, became known as the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha.
In December, 1882, the line became a part of the Northwestern system.
