The Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad was incorporated on August 1, 1860 after Morris K. Jesup forced the [[DUBUQUE AND PACIFIC RAILROAD]] into receivership. (1) Jesup held many of the railroad's defaulted bonds and wanted to put the line on a firm financial basis. Jesup controlled the company for twenty-seven years and held the presidency from 1866 to 1887.

	The railroad reached Cedar Falls, Iowa in 1861 where the celebration included the placing of a cedar lei or crown around the balloon stack of the locomotive. (2) The construction was made possible by pledging the company's most valuable land in the Des Moines River valley for two dollars an acre. (3) The [[CIVIL WAR ]] ended all further construction except for a feeder line called the Cedar Falls and Minnesota Railroad. This line had been incorporated on April 16, 1858 by [[SMITH, Platt\|Platt SMITH]] and others who were also involved with the Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad.
