The IC&E began operations in 2002 and served the states of Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. On October 30, 2008, the Canadian Pacific Railway acquired control of the 1400-mile line along with the affiliated Dakota, Minnesota, and Eastern, and Cedar American Rail Holdings. On December 26, 2008, following federal approval by the Surface Transportation Board, the DM&E and IC&E were consolidated into the DM&E. Photo by Tom Bridges, 12/1/2008.
