Carry a piece of western rail history wherever the route leads. This Southern Pacific Railroad luggage tag celebrates the SP network that connected San Francisco, Los Angeles, El Paso, Tucson, Portland, New Orleans, and countless points between. From the Espee nickname to the famed Daylight and cab-forward era, it is a compact nod to a railroad legacy that ran from 1865 until its Union Pacific acquisition in 1996.
Southern Pacific, commonly known by its reporting mark SP and the nickname Espee, was a Class I railroad network serving much of the western United States from 1865 to 1996. The original company was founded in San Francisco in 1865 to pursue a rail connection between San Francisco and San Diego. In September 1868 it was purchased by the Big Four: Charles Crocker, Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins Jr., and C. P. Huntington, who had created the Central Pacific Railroad in 1861. Southern Pacific acquired Central Pacific routes through leasing in 1885. By 1900, its system stretched from New Orleans through Texas, El Paso, New Mexico, Tucson, Los Angeles, California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and Portland. Operations later used the names Southern Pacific Railroad, Southern Pacific Company, and Southern Pacific Transportation Company. The latter was established in 1969 and became the final SP incarnation. Rio Grande Industries took it over in 1988. Union Pacific Corporation acquired the system in 1996; in 1998, Southern Pacific Transportation Company was renamed Union Pacific Railroad.
