  • Wabash Railroad, later part of the Norfolk and Western Railway
  • Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, later part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

  • CSX Transportation (1/7)
  • Norfolk Southern Railway (1/7)
  • Union Pacific Railroad (3/7)

It also links to the Kansas City Southern Railway; the Canadian Pacific Railway is the sole Class I railroad that does not extend to St. Louis.
