American Central Railway

The American Central Railway was originally named the Western Air Line Railroad. The American Central Railway was incorporated on February 21, 1859, as a name change of the Western Air Line Railroad. The Western Airline had not laid any track prior to 1859. In 1868, work was started on a 50.59 mile line from Galva, Illinois to New Boston, Illinois. Work was completed in October 1869.[1]

On June 1, 1899, the American Central Railway was sold to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.[2]
