History

The Northern Pacific Railway (NP) had created a subsidiary of itself called the Chicago and Northern Pacific Railroad (C&NP) to purchase up several Chicago area terminal railroads (including trackage that would become the B&OCT), which it did in 1899, along with Grand Central Station in the south Loop. The NP then leased this new terminal railroad to the Wisconsin Central Railway (WC; another railroad financially controlled by the NP).

The relationship between the WC and the NP soured as a result of the Panic of 1893, and as a result, the C&NP was cut adrift and was purchased at foreclosure by the Chicago Terminal Transfer Company in 1897 and re-consolidated as the Baltimore and Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad in 1910. The Panic of 1893 was a serious decline in the economy of the United States that began in 1893 and was precipitated in part by a run on the gold supply. ...

Operations

The railroad was strategically located in Chicagoland; connections made at Forest Park and trackage rights allowed the Soo Line (who had bought out the Wisconsin Central) and the Chicago Great Western Railway access to their passenger terminal. The Pere Marquette Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (including its grand Capitol Limited) also used the B&OCT to access Grand Central Station.
