Historical Note
The Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City Railroad Company was incorporated in Ohio on June 19, 1886. The railroad company was a consolidation of the following companies: the Toledo, Dupont and Western Railway of Ohio; the Bluffton, Kokomo and Southwestern Railroad Company of Indiana; and the Toledo, Charleston and St. Louis Railroad Company of Illinois. In April 1898, a decree of foreclosure was entered, and the company was reorganized in 1900 as the Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad Company. In 1923, the Toledo, St. Louis and Western merged with the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, known as the Nickel Plate. The Nickel Plate later became part of the Norfolk and Western and in 1982, Norfolk and Western and the Southern Railway merged and became Norfolk Southern.
