Description
An account of the resource
This history of the Nickel Plate Railroad is an amassment of histories from other lines, such as Lake Erie and Western, Clover Leaf, and the Wheeling and Lake Erie. The Nickel Plate was officially the New York, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad Company, which opened in 1882. By 1950, the Nickel Plate has 2,266 miles of track and over 16,000 employees. N&W approached the Nickel Plate in early 1960 about a merger, which consummated in 1964. A $2,000 investment in Nickel PLat stock in 1947 would have yielded $63,000 at the time of the merger, excluding two decades worth of dividends. Shown here is Engine No. 303.
