The Colorado and Southern Railway (reporting marks C&S, CS) was an American Class I railroad in the western United States that operated independently from 1898 to 1908, then as part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad until it was absorbed into the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1981. C&S was also the parent company of the Fort Worth and Denver Railway, which ran from a connection at Texline south and east into Texas. The FW&D was established as a separate company because Texas law required that railroads operating within its borders must be incorporated within that state.

  • The Colorado and Southern Railway (reporting marks C&S, CS) was an American Class I railroad in the western United States that operated independently from 1898 to 1908, then as part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad until it was absorbed into the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1981. The railway began as the consolidation of bankrupt railroads in 1898. The Colorado Central Railroad and Cheyenne and Northern Railway were brought together to form the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf Railway in 1890. When Union Pacific went bankrupt in 1893 they were separated from the Union Pacific and united with the Denver, Leadville and Gunnison Railway and others, by to form the Colorado and Southern Railroad in 1898. In 1908 the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad bought control of the C&S. It would later merge into the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1981. At the end of 1970 it operated 692 miles of road on 1116 miles of track; that year it reported 1,365 million ton-miles (1,993 million tkm) of revenue freight. In 1980 route-miles had dropped to 678 but ton-miles had ballooned to 7,230 million ton-miles (10,560 million tkm): Powder River coal had arrived. C&S was also the parent company of the Fort Worth and Denver Railway, which ran from a connection at Texline south and east into Texas. The FW&D was established as a separate company because Texas law required that railroads operating within its borders must be incorporated within that state. (en)

Fu creata nel 1898 in seguito alla fusione di varie ferrovie che erano entrate in bancarotta. La e la furono riunite per formare la nel 1890. Quando la Union Pacific fallì nel 1893 furono separate dalla Union Pacific e unite con la e altre ancora, da per formare la Colorado and Southern Railroad nel 1898. Nel 1908 la Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad prese il controllo della C&S in seguito all'acquisto di quest'ultima. Si sarebbe poi fusa nella Burlington Northern Railroad nel 1981. La C&S era anche la proprietaria della Fort Worth and Denver Railway, che andava da un collegamento a Texline a sud e a est fino al Texas. La FW&D è stata istituita come una società separata perché la legge del Texas richiedeva che le ferrovie operanti all'interno dei suoi confini dovessero essere incorporate all'interno di quello Stato.
