West North Central Railroads

This child group collects United States Railroads members headquartered or historically based in the West North Central Census division (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas). It includes Union Pacific Corporation and Union Pacific Railroad, both headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska; the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Kansas City Southern Railway; the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway's own St. Louis Missouri connections; the Northern Pacific Railway, headquartered for most of its independent existence in St. Paul, Minnesota; and further Iowa, Kansas and Missouri short lines. At 27 members it sits well under this atlas's oversized-group threshold and needs no further split.
