Thread-topic: [CBQ] BCR&N

Ken

I found a note to that effect in Railway Age and presumed that the Rock Island had bought out the Burlington by that time, in order for the lease to be signed. I was hoping to establish a date when the sale actually  took place.

I’ve had a quick check of the Annual Directors‘ Reports but can find no mention of it. Even Richard Overton’s Burlington Route merely says that they jointly bought the BCR&N out of receivership and “Early in the twentieth century, the CB&Q disposed of its interest to the Rock Island at a handsome profit.”

"In 1885, the Rock Island purchased the majority of the outstanding stock of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway.  It later was to take over the line completely. "
"A historic development occurred near the close of this decade, when on June 1, 1902, the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern leased its property to the Rock Island for 999 years."
