| Cyrus K. Holliday and a group of businessmen from Topeka and Atchison secured incorporation of a railroad in 1859. Because of the disruption of the Civil War, however, construction did not begin until 1868. It took four years to complete the line to the Colorado border. From there it was extended on across southeastern Colorado and into New Mexico. Eventually the railroad became one of the most important links between Chicago and Los Angeles.
