Show detail Hide detail

Chicago and North Eastern Railroad Company : The Chicago and North Eastern Railroad Company was incorporated on 12 August 1874 to build and operate a rail line between Flint and Lansing in Michigan. This 49.7 miles of railway was opened for traffic on 1 January 1877. This was the missing link in the route from Port Huron to Chicago along the Port Huron and Lake Michigan Railroad Company and the Peninsular Railway Company lines. These two companies were operating as the Chicago and Lake Huron Railroad Company. In 1879 control of the Chicago and North Eastern was acquired by W.H. Vanderbilt of the Michigan Central and New York Central railroads in an attempt to prevent the Grand Trunk establishment of a route to Chicago. The acquisition by the Grand Trunk of the two components of the Chicago and Lake Huron forced Vanderbilt to sell the Chicago and North Eastern to the Grand Trunk. On 6 April 1880 the Chicago and North Eastern Railroad Company was one of five railways that were consolidated into the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway Company. RG30 General Inventory
