    The Chicago, Kansas & Western Railroad Company (CK&W) was a Kansas short-line, formed in 1886 by combining charters from 10 smaller railroads. At this time, the Santa Fe Railroad and the Missouri Pacific Railroad were in stiff competition to build lines in new territory. The CK&W was busy building many disconnected lines all over Kansas and then leasing them to one of the two competitors. The CK&W continued until it was sold to the Santa Fe Railroad in April, 1901. For auction is a "First Mortgage Bond Script" from the CK&W in the amount of .00. It is dated June 1, 1886 and was payable at 5% interest beginning June 1, 1926.
