DUBUQUE, KANSAS CITY AND SOUTHWESTERN RAILROAD. One of the projected railroads leading out of Dubuque, the road was to extend from Dubuque south through Iowa, into and through the State of Missouri to Kansas City. In its course it was designed to cross the Chicago & Northwestern, and make connection with that system. (1)

The idea was revived in September 1890 and a meeting of the BOARD OF TRADE was called to discuss the idea. (2)
