by timetable district:
The Chicago Central & Pacific Railroad and Cedar River Railroad
originated from the former ICG "Iowa Division" spinoff in 1985. The
CC&P mainline traverses an east-west alignment between Chicago (Hawthorne
Yard in Cicero) and Council Bluffs, Iowa, with a branch to Sioux City,
Iowa.
The Cedar River Railroad (CEDR) is a reincarnation of the Cedar Valley
Railroad (CVAR), and has always been affiliated with CC&P. It comprises
of the former Albert Lea District between Waterloo, Iowa and Albert lea,
Minnesota, and the Stacyville Branch to its namesake town.
Although still retaining a separate identity, both CC&P and CEDR
became once again part of the Illinois Central System with the purchase of
both railroads in June of 1996.
