Chicago Freeport & St. Paul

The Chicago, Freeport & St. Paul RailRoad was organized in 1882 and was incorporated in 1882/1884/1885 under Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota law as a consolidation of the Chicago, Freeport & St. Paul RailRoad, the Chicago, Freeport & Northwestern RailRoad Company, and the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Chicago RailRoad Company by Adam Eulberg, Aldro Jenks, Thomas Kennedy, Peter Morris, Charles J. Thomas, for the construction, maintenance and operation of a rail line from the Southern Wisconsin border near the Pecatonica River in Cadiz, Green County, Wisconsin, and thence North and Westerly to a point in Minneapolis. The railroad had its general office in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, and had $10,000,000 in capital stock. In Minnesota, a branch railway was authorized to run from Minneapolis easterly through Hennepin County, Minnesota, Ramsey County, Minnesota, and Washington County, Minnesota, to the Wisconsin-Minnesota boundary. In 1883, the members of the board of directors were E. Baldwin, Warren C. Clark, Charles Kennedy, Henry J. Porter, A. V. Richards, John F. Smith, William P. Watson, M. H. Wilcoon, and William O. Wright.
