While the North Western today is a single corporation, it is the result of mergers, consolidations, outright purchases and other forms of union of more than 160 railroad companies dating back over the years to 1848 when the first of the lines was constructed westward out of Chicago.
As the first railroad to reach Council Bluffs on the Missouri River in 1867, it played an important role in moving materials and supplies westward for use in construction of the first transcontinental rail line and to this day the North Western is considered the eastern segment of the Overland Route.
In 1926 the North Western also was the first railroad west of the New York metropolitan area to acquire and operate diesel-electric locomotives.
