Omaha Southern Railway

The Omaha Southern Railway was a subsidiary corporation owned by the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. In 1891, the railroad bought a plot of land south of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, that caused speculation in the town about the location of a railyard there.^[1] The railroad was also subject to a period study of subsidies it received from local and state governments.^[2]
