Celebrate Missouri Pacific Railroad heritage with an ornament that honors a name woven through more than a century of American rail history. From the Pacific Railroad’s 1851 St. Louis start to MoPac’s wide-reaching routes and eventual Union Pacific merger, the company remains a favorite among railroad collectors. Hang it in a train room, display it with memorabilia, or make it part of seasonal decorating for fans of MP reporting marks, Eagles-era imagery, and classic railroads.
Missouri Pacific Railroad, commonly called MoPac and reporting as MP, grew from the Pacific Railroad, whose ground was broken in St. Louis on July 4, 1851. Its first track opened in 1852, and after Civil War interruption the line reached Kansas City in 1865. A debt crisis led to its 1872 reorganization as the Missouri Pacific Railway. Jay Gould controlled the system from 1879 to 1892, expanding it through Colorado, Nebraska, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. Following bankruptcy in 1915, the line merged with the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway and was reorganized as the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1917. It later added or controlled important Texas lines including the Gulf Coast Lines, International-Great Northern, and Texas and Pacific. Union Pacific Corporation agreed to purchase MoPac in 1980; the transaction took effect December 22, 1982. Missouri Pacific retained its identity for years, but its full merger into Union Pacific Railroad became official January 1, 1997.
