Construction was started in 1856, and WI en it was finished it was the first railroad touching the Texas Gulf Coast. Cooperative service arrangements with other railroads have been, and continue to be used when they can improve equipment utilization and upgrade _ transportation service. Because the route selected required the construction of two tunnels west of what became Kirkwood, and because tunnel excavation was necessarily slower, work on these tunnels was also begun at that time. Thanks to World War II's incredible traffic blitzkrieg these upgrades continued and by 1955 dieselization was completed. An advertisement of that period stated that at Jefferson City passengers could step from the train to the waiting steamboat and that by this route, the time from St. Louis to Kansas City had been cut to only 50 hours! Missouri and the West needed railroads, and St. Louisans visualized a railroad all the way to the Pacific Ocean and wanted very much for that railroad to start from their city.

Despite these changes the I&GN did transform into a respectable system reaching Galveston, Columbia, Mineola, Austin, San Antonio, the Mexican border at Laredo, and of course Longview.
