United States   Migration    Railroads    Denver and Rio Grande Railroad 

Affectionately called the Frisco, this rail line began in 1876 and was sold to Burlington in 1980. Early ambitions were not realized and this line never went west of Texas, but served the Midwest and southern United States. Today most of its lines are still in service with the BNSF or various short lines.

Rolling stock and a depot, and memorabilia been preserved at various museums, but Burlington disposed of most of the records in 1980. A few were saved by former employees.
