Lombard financed the formation of The Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation ("DM&E") in 1986 to acquire assets of the Chicago and North Western Transportation System. In 1996, DM&E expanded its geographical coverage through the acquisition of the 203-mile Colony Line from Union Pacific. In 2002, DM&E, through its subsidiary Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad Corporation, acquired substantially all assets of the 1,403 mile I&M Rail Link, thereby creating the eighth largest contiguous rail system operating in the U.S. Since Lombard's initial investment, and with additional equity infusions by Lombard, DM&E has significantly expanded its business and improved its financial performance.
