It was founded by Alpheus Beede Stickney in 1885 as a regional line between St. Paul and the Iowa state line called the \u003cb\u003eMinnesota and Northwestern Railroad\u003c\/b\u003e. Through mergers and new construction, the railroad, named Chicago Great Western after 1892, quickly became a multi-state carrier. One of the last Class I railroads to be built, it competed against several other more well-established railroads in the same territory, and developed a corporate culture of innovation and efficiency to survive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNicknamed the \u003cb\u003eCorn Belt Route\u003c\/b\u003e because of its operating area in the midwestern United States, the railroad was sometimes called the \u003cb\u003eLucky Strike Road\u003c\/b\u003e, due to the similarity in design between the herald of the CGW and the logo used for Lucky Strike cigarettes.   (Credit - Wikipedia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mw-content-text\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mw-content-ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1968 it merged with the Chicago and North Western Railway (CNW), which abandoned most of the CGW's trackage.  (Credit - Wikipedia)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Transportation Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48172112216235,"sku":"dve1791435253041","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5840\/2219\/files\/chicago-great-western-license-plate_1.jpg?v=1791435260","url":"https:\/\/www.venvexia.com\/products\/chicago-great-western-license-plate","provider":"Zerovelle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
