<p>In 1872, the Lexington & St. Louis Railroad constructed a 54-mile railroad, extending from the existing Pacific Railroad line at Sedalia, Missouri to Myrick, Missouri. In 1879, the Sedalia, Warsaw & Southern Railway (SW&S) completed an additional 43 miles of 3-foot gauge railroad, extending from Sedalia to Warsaw, Missouri. The SW&S was reorganized as the Sedalia, Warsaw & South Western Railway (SW&SW) in 1891. The railroad would be converted to standard gauge in 1902. The SW&SW was merged into the Missouri Pacific Railway in 1910. The railroad reorganized to the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1917. The line between Sedalia and Warsaw was reportedly abandoned in approximately 1946, and the line between Lexington and Sedalia was abandoned in the 1980s. Today, little remains of these two branch lines.<br></p>
