Missouri
Louisiana-Missouri territory: March 3, 1805
Missouri territory: June 4, 1812
Became state: August 10, 1821
About 900 railroad companies are known to have incorporated within the state. The Katy (the Missouri Kansas & Texas) offer the most certificates. Although not as well-represented, the St Louis-San Francisco Railway Co and its several name variations still offers several varieties. With the exception of those two companies many of the known certificates come from companies with small issuances. So, while it is extremely easy to collect several Missouri railroad certificates, it is very challenging to to collect a wide variety. Fortunately for specialists, it seems to be a state with only moderate interest.
