Cedar Rapids and Missouri River Railroad

The Cedar Rapids and Missouri River Railroad was a railroad chartered to run from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Council Bluffs, Iowa on the Missouri River. Under lease by the Chicago & North Western Railroad, it was the first railroad to reach Council Bluffs opposite Omaha Nebraska, and the eastern terminus of the First transcontinental railroad. It was one of four railroads that were built as result of the Iowa Land Bill of 1856 that gave land grants for railroads.
