Bring Missouri Pacific Railroad heritage along for the journey with this passport cover. MoPac began as the Pacific Railroad in St. Louis in 1851 and ultimately connected communities across Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Nebraska, and more. The railroad’s MP reporting mark and Eagles-era associations remain familiar to collectors, while its 1982 purchase and 1997 merger into Union Pacific mark the close of a long independent chapter. A thoughtful travel companion for railfans and lovers of classic American transportation history.
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.
