SIOUX CITY AND PACIFIC RAIL ROAD
SIOUX CITY AND PACIFIC RAIL ROAD. Organized in Dubuque in 1864, the Sioux City and Pacific involved such famous Dubuque residents as Platt SMITH and William Boyd ALLISON. (1)
Constructed along the eastern bank of the Missouri River from Sioux City to Missouri Valley Junction near Council Bluffs, the railroad was built as a connection from Sioux City to the Union Pacific Railroad at Fremont. It became part of the Chicago and North Western Railway system in the 1880s and later was a main line of the Union Pacific (UP). (2)
