| Notes | The Pacific Railroad was completed to Sedalia in 1861, but it stopped here [Kansas City] for about two years. This road was completed into Independence in December 19, 1865, and, as it had been operated into Kansas City from Independence prior to that time, on September 20, 1865, the first passenger train passed over the whole line of the road, leaving Kansas City at 3:00 A.M. and getting to St. Louis at 5:00 P.M. of the same day. |
