The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q), commonly known as the Burlington Route or simply the Burlington, operated throughout the Midwestern United States. Its network spanned Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Texas, with connections to major cities such as Chicago, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Denver. The railroad's Texas operations were facilitated by subsidiaries, including the Colorado and Southern Railway, Fort Worth and Denver Railway, and Burlington-Rock Island Railroad.
The CB&Q used prominent advertising slogans like "Everywhere West", "Way of the Zephyrs", and "The Way West" to highlight its extensive routes through the Midwest and mountain states. In 1967, the CB&Q reported 19,565 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and 723 million passenger miles. At the end of that year, it operated 8,538 route-miles, with additional routes run by its subsidiaries. In 1970, the CB&Q merged with the Northern Pacific Railway and the Great Northern Railway to form the Burlington Northern Railroad, marking a major consolidation in U.S. rail history.
A bond is a document of title for a loan. Bonds are issued, not only by businesses, but also by national, state or city governments, or other public bodies, or sometimes by individuals. Bonds are a loan to the company or other body. They are normally repayable within a stated period of time. Bonds earn interest at a fixed rate, which must usually be paid by the undertaking regardless of its financial results. A bondholder is a creditor of the undertaking.
