It was founded by Alpheus Beede Stickney in 1885 as a regional line between St. Paul and the Iowa state line called the Minnesota and Northwestern Railroad. Through mergers and new construction, the railroad, named Chicago Great Western after 1892, quickly became a multi-state carrier. One of the last Class I railroads to be built, it competed against several other more well-established railroads in the same territory, and developed a corporate culture of innovation and efficiency to survive.

  • The Chicago Great Western Railway (reporting mark CGW) was a Class I railroad that linked Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City. It was founded by Alpheus Beede Stickney in 1885 as a regional line between St. Paul and the Iowa state line called the Minnesota and Northwestern Railroad. Through mergers and new construction, the railroad, named Chicago Great Western after 1892, quickly became a multi-state carrier. One of the last Class I railroads to be built, it competed against several other more well-established railroads in the same territory, and developed a corporate culture of innovation and efficiency to survive. Nicknamed the Corn Belt Route because of its operating area in the midwestern United States, the railroad was sometimes called the Lucky Strike Road, due to the similarity in design between the herald of the CGW and the logo used for Lucky Strike cigarettes. In 1968 it merged with the Chicago and North Western Railway (CNW), which abandoned most of the CGW's trackage. (en)

  • La Chicago Great Western Railway (marchio CGW) era una ferrovia che collegava Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha e Kansas City. Fu fondata da nel 1885 come linea regionale tra Saint Paul e il confine con l'Iowa con il nome di Minnesota and Northwestern Railroad. Attraverso fusioni e nuove costruzioni, la ferrovia, chiamata Chicago Great Western dopo il 1892, divenne rapidamente una società multistatale. Una delle ultime ferrovie di classe I da costruire, ha gareggiato con altre ferrovie più affermate nello stesso territorio e ha sviluppato una cultura aziendale di innovazione ed efficienza per sopravvivere. Soprannominata Corn Belt Route a causa della sua area operativa negli Stati Uniti medio-occidentali, la ferrovia era talvolta chiamata Lucky Strike Road, a causa della somiglianza nel design tra l'araldo della CGW e il logo utilizzato per le sigarette Lucky Strike. Nel 1968 si fuse con la Chicago and North Western Railway (CNW), che abbandonò la maggior parte del tracciato della CGW. (it)
