$1,000 Cape Girardeau Northern Railway Co cert #230 1st Mortgage 5% Gold Bond. Signed by secretary and president. Green border and raised company seal. Printed: Security Bank Note Co. Phila.

Built in 1905 and ran from Cape Girardeau to Jackson and a connection with the Missouri Pacific. Financial struggles overcame any profits and the railroad came close to bankruptcy. By 1925, the line was saved by the Missouri Pacific Railroad. They wanted it used as a short industrial spur in Cape Girardeau proper. Little exists of the railroad today,
