The Western Iowa Railway was incorporated in 1884 by the Burlington to extend the Creston & Northern line from Fontanelle to Cumberland, and that extension opened in April 1885. The articles also provided for a direct link to Red Oak and, apparently, a new
company to construct this extra link was incorporated in March 1885 at Des Moines. No construction took place and, so far, I have been unable to identify this latter company.

Attached are two pages from the CB&Q Corporate History book on the line from Red Oak to
Fontanelle.

If someone wants to chase this up, they are most welcome. And it’s a bit far for me to travel to visit all the county courthouses!
I tried to identify a company that the CB&Q apparently established to build a line between Red Oak and Fontanelle in 1885, and came up against a brick wall.

Every Iowa county courthouse will have a transcription of the deeds in the recorder's office if the BCR&N had property in that county. Every deed
will have a date.
