    Description
    The
    Missouri Pacific Railroad
    , also known as the
    MoPac and the MP
    , was a
    major US carrier in the mid-western states
    . The product of many mergers, the MoPac traces its roots to 1851. The MoPac operated independently until it was acquired by the Union Pacific (UP) in 1997, and most
    surviving MoPac trackage is now a part of the UP
    . At its peak, the MoPac served ten states (Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas).
    The MoPac
    operated a number of famous "named" trains
    ; in the steam liner era, these were
    known as "eagles"
    and included the
    Missouri River Eagle
    , the
    Delta Eagle
    , the
    Valley Eagle
    , and the
    Texas Eagle
    . The
    Texas Eagle
    was the most prominent of these, operated in conjunction with the Katy Railroad, between St. Louis and El Paso. The MoPac also
    operated trains between St. Louis and California with the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad and the Western Pacific Railroad and into Mexico with the National Railway of Mexico
    .
