The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway had plans for securing railroads for Albia as early as 1865 when they proposed to extend their line westward from Ottumwa to Albia and Chariton. The company wanted Monroe and Lucas counties to raise $100,000 to secure the road, threatening to locate the line through some other territory if that amount was not guaranteed. The people of Monroe County granted the right of way with the depot grounds at Albia. The C., B., & Q. traversed the entire portion of Monroe County from east to west, a distance of a little more than 27 miles, and its total value was assessed at $349,647 in 1896. Number 46670.
