Construction poor and original Cape Girardeau & Chester Railroad did poorly. Next railroad named Cape Girardeau Northern Railroad also was not successful. Built in 1905 and ran from Cape Girardeau to Jackson and a connection with the Missouri Pacific. Financial struggles overcame any profits and the railroad came close to bankruptcy. By 1925, the line was saved by the Missouri Pacific Railroad. They wanted it used as a short industrial spur in Cape Girardeau proper.
