The train pulled into the city to the tune of hundreds of voiees, that contained but little harmony but plenty of volume. Arms, hats and handkerchiefs were waved in accompaniment, displaying a due appreciation for the beginning of what was to make Cedar Rapids the beautiful and prosperous city that it is. A railroad was what was needed and it was now theirs.


The terminal of the road was about where the packing honse is now located. and it was a couple of years before an extension was made. the track being laid as far as the location of the cereal mills, which at that time was an enterprise yet to come.


Mr. Ilaman says that one incident is fixed indelibly on his memory, and that was the big danee that was held that night. He was obliged to remain at the store during the day and did not get to see the train come in. but he attended the dance which continned until sunrise the next morning. He was a single man and as was the custom had his lady friend with him and was obliged to send her home in an omnibus, the then prevailing means of transportation abont the city, as it was time to open the store and he did not have time to accompany her home. The dance was held in what was known as Daniels hall. located where the Masonic Temple now stands.


Another who has recollections of the great event is Emery Brown and it was in conversation between Mr. Ilaman and Emery Brown that these facts were

FIRST RAILROAD IN THE COUNTY


collected. The road was extended to Cedar Rapids from Clinton, where connee- tion was made to Chicago. There was no hridge across the Mississippi river at that time and the trains were ferried across the river by means of a large, flat ferry boat.


In order to secure the railroad the town was obliged to give $100,000 to the railroad company. Stock was issued in payment. James L. Bever was another man in business here at that time and he made it a point to purchase all this city stoek he could, which proved to be to his advantage. The road was later leased by the Northwestern and finally purehased.


With reference to this road a Linn county biography offers the following :


"The organization under which this line came into Cedar Rapids was the Chicago, lowa and Nebraska Railroad company, which was organized at Clinton in January, 1856. There were several railroad prospects about this time form- ulating in Clinton, or in places having a close proximity to the Mississippi. Finally all the railroad enterprises extending westward from the river united in the Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska railroad. When that company commenced their operations, it was expected it would have the co-operation of the Galena company. Failing to receive this it pressed forward its work unaided, and by the latter part of 1857 had the track laid as far as the Wapsipinicon river, a distance of thirty-six miles. In July, 1858. it was laid as far as Clarence, Cedar county, and in December, the same year, the road was completed to Lisbon, sixty-four miles from Clinton. The following June (1859) the locomotive steamed into Cedar Rapids, a distance of eighty-two miles from the Mississippi. There was great rejoicing here and the event was duly celebrated.


"It was a most important event to Cedar Rapids for it was the termination of a struggle for railroad supremacy in the county.


"In 1862 the road was leased to the Chicago and Northwestern company, and before the lease expired it had seeured control of it. Work was resumed on the extension (for which the Cedar Rapids and Missouri Railroad company was organized), and pushed with vigor. It was completed across the great state of Iowa to Council Bluffs in 1867, where it made connections with the Union Paeifie."
