Underwood once had a Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad (Rock Island) mainline and a Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) mainline. The Rock Island line was abandoned in the early 1950s, after a new cutoff was opened further south. The former Milwaukee Road is now owned by BNSF Railway.
