<p>In 1878, the Solomon Railroad began construction on a 57 mile railroad line, extending from the newly constructed line at Solomon, Kansas to Beloit, Kansas. The route would be completed the following year, and the railroad was sold to the Union Pacific Railway in 1900. The railroad would change its name to the Union Pacific Railroad in 1901. The UP had constructed a vast network of railroads, extending from the Missouri River westwards. This route served as a branch line, serving industries in central Kansas. The line would be leased to the Kyle Railroad in 1991. Today, Kyle continues to operate this line, and utilizes it as its eastern connection to the Union Pacific Railroad.<br></p>
