The Chicago Central and Pacific Railroad (AAR reporting mark CC) was a Class II railroad operating on the former Illinois Central Railroad (IC) mainline between Chicago, Illinois, Albert Lea, Minnesota, Omaha, Nebraska, and Sioux City, Iowa. The railroad was formed as a spinoff from the IC, with operations beginning on December 24, 1985. The IC repurchased the railroad in 1996 and operated it as a subsidiary until the IC itself was purchased by CN.
