By 1882, the Toledo & Northwestern Railroad bought out the narrow gauge Des Moines and Minnesota Railroad and converted it to a standard gauge (four feet eight and a half inches) line. That rail line north of Ames had passed through Gilbert, Story City, Randall, and had terminated at Callanan. The portion of the line that crossed the South Skunk River to enter Callanan was abandoned and rerouted to Jewell Junction. The Toledo & Northwestern soon became known as the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.
