The Southern Iowa Railway traces its ancestry from the Albia Centerville interurban , believed to be the oldest in Iowa. It was incorporated as the Centerville, Moravia and Albia Railroad by Francis M. Drake, a former Iowa governor and founder of Drake University, and Russell Sage of New York. The road was built as a branch of the Missouri, Iowa and Northern of the Wabash system in 1880. The Wabash operated trains between St.Louis and Des Moines over the two roads to Centerville and Albia until 1885 when it went into receivership . In 1880, the railroad was reorganized as the Albia Centerville Railway until 1910. That year, W. A. Boland of New York and J. L. Sawyers of Centerville, reorganized the road and changed the name to the Southern Traction Company. Although the name implied electric-powered equipment, it ran by steam. In 1914 the name changed to the Centerville, Albia and Southern Railway, electrifying it shortly thereafter. By utilizing the street car tracks in both towns, the 30-mile interurban reached the depots of the CB&Q at Albia and the CRI&P at Centerville. Freight revenues came from coal and package traffic. In 1918, passenger volume totaled almost 400 ,000 riders.
