That’s a possibility. Certainly Perkins’ name appears on a number of railroad purchases such as the Humeston & Shenandoah, the St Louis, Keokuk & North Western, and The Brownville, Fort Kearney & Pacific, and was shown as the purchaser of land on behalf of
the Burlington. However, I doubt that he and his wife (whose name also appeared on the documents) used their own money for the purchases. And the Burlington would have wanted the profit.
Also I would have thought that Overton would have said that Perkins was the purchaser rather than the CB&Q. I’ll add it to the list of mysteries to be solved.

Is it possible that the stock of the BCR&N, held in the name of the Q, was actually held by the individual directors of the company, including Charles Perkins? Then, the receiving transaction for the $3,208.000 would be a personal rather
than a corporate transaction and would not appear of the books of the RR.

Thanks for this information which helps confirm the date of the change.
The CRI&P AGM was apparently held on 4 June 1902, at which the decision to consolidate the BCR&N into the Rock Island was made. The CRI&P Annual Report for the following year shows that $3,208,000 was paid for the purchase of the capital stock of the BCR&N,
which was presumably from the CB&Q. There is no equivalent receipt in the CB&Q 1903-1904 Report accounts.
