Denver Stock Exchange Railroad Stock and Bond Certificates

When one thinks of the Great American West and American Industrialization, one thing comes to mind: The Greatest of American Industries; The Railroad.

Railroads did more to build and shape this country than any other single entity and their legacy is indelibly etched on the face of our nation through thousands of miles of track, tunnels and bridges that were built by the hundreds of railroads that crisscrossed the U.S. They also left behind a legacy of financial documents used to finance the grandiose construction dreams of those that owned them. When it comes to stock certificates, there is nothing quite like the railroads to bring the collector an amazing array of fine material from which to choose! The Denver Stock Exchange is proud to present the following collectable and historical railroad stocks and bonds for your collection.

Dubuque Electric Railway, Light & Power Co.

Iowa

Issued / Cancelled, 1891. Issued at Davenport, Iowa.

Certificate displays a wonderful vignette of an electric power house and rail line. The company wanted to publicize the use of electricity as a means of transportation through the use of trolleys. They purchased 40 acres of land to build a park, known as Stewart Park, to become the terminus of the electric rail line. The park struggled, as did the electric trolley system, and the company became unable to operate the trolley line. The company was sold to Old Colony Trust in 1893 and eventually ownership passed to the General Electric Company, who reorganized the local business into the Home Electric Company, which later sold out to Union Electric Company.
