The Garden City Northern Railway line ran from Garden City to Shallow Water, Kansas about 31miles. This trackage was originally built by the Garden City, Gulf and Northern Railway (GCG&N) on January 4, 1907. In July 1911, the GCG&N and its entire line came under Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) control. The ATSF operated the line until September 1989, when GCN took over the line.[1] The GCN was combined with parent Garden City Western Railway in September 1991.[1]
