I believe you meant Missouri River rather than Mississippi River.

Steve

The earliest split I’ve seen in the  Directors Report was the one for 1881 when they referred to “roads east of the Mississippi River” and “roads west of the Mississippi River” in the list of equipment.  Previously, the split was “Illinois & Iowa” and “Nebraska”.

The first ORER to show separate Lines East and Lines West management was 1904, when all the subsidiaries (or almost all) were assimilated into the parent company.  From about 1893, there were three General Offices – Chicago, St Joseph and Omaha (plus St Paul for the CB&N until 1899).  After 1904, there was just Chicago (Lines East) and Omaha (Lines West)

Those terms, indeed, were "Official"...Lines east were those EAST of the Missouri River...Lines west were those WEST of said river.  At one time there  was a General Manager "Lines East" and one for "Lines West".  

 

The old office building for the headquarters of "Lines West" still exists as a historical item in Omaha and has been restored to offices and such...It's an interesting building with an Atrium in its center.  One of the oldest buildings in Omaha.

 

Someone with a more intimate knowledge of Q affairs can comment as to when those designations were eliminated.

Hi, I've often wondered whether these were official or unofficial terms used by Q employees, and to what specific geographic areas did they refer?

Many thanks,
