The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway, known as the Omaha Road, was a railroad company operating in the U.S. states of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Dakota. It was incorporated in 1880 as a consolidation of the Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis Railway and the North Wisconsin Railway, and the Chicago and North Western Railway gained control of it in 1882. The Chicago and North Western leased the Omaha Road in 1957 and formally merged the company into itself in 1972.
