Iowa and St. Louis Railway The Iowa and St. Louis Railway was a project envisioned by several Burlington Route employees in 1900 to take advantage of the development of coal mining investments in northern Missouri and southern Iowa.

There, the Iowa and St. Louis Construction crews came into conflict with managers of the east to west line running through Novinger, then (1900) known as the "Omaha, Kansas City & Eastern Railway" ( an affiliate of the Kansas City, Pittsburgh & Gulf Railroad).
