More information
The track was opened on October 9th 1871
and went from Wilton (Iowa) to Leavenport (Kansas), a stretch of 353 miles.
It was controlled by the
Chicago Rock
Island & Pacific Railroad. The loan of $1,000,000 was not guaranteed and
1,000 bonds of $1000 each, with 7% tax free interest payable in gold every
half year on June 1st and December 1st. The sum of $1,000 in gold was to be
paid back on June 1st 1901. The bonds were sold in 1871 in Frankfurt, Berlin
and Dresden. The coupon on December 1872 was already not paid, nor any later
ones . The Atchison Branch was sold to Johannes Berg, a trustee of the
company, on 16/08/1871. He later sold it to the Iowa Southern and Missouri
