Wikipedia

"The I&GN, like other railroads of its time, had many financial troubles and went into receivership on several occasions. Jay Gould acquired control of the I&GN in December 1880. Due to his control of the Missouri Pacific (Mopac) and the Texas and Pacific Railroad, the three were operated as one system, although they each retained their separate corporate identities and seniority districts.

Finally, on March 1, 1956, all of the subsidiaries were merged into the parent Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, and the I-GN ceased its corporate existence."
