The Western Pacific Railroad (reporting mark WP) was a Class I railroad in the United States. It was formed in 1903 as an attempt to break the near-monopoly the Southern Pacific Railroad had on rail service into northern California. WP's Feather River Route directly competed with SP's portion of the Overland Route for rail traffic between Salt Lake City/Ogden, Utah, and Oakland, California, for nearly 80 years. The Western Pacific was one of the original operators of the California Zephyr passenger line.

  • El Western Pacific Railroad (WP) va ser un ferrocarril de Classe I als Estats Units. Es va crear el 1903 per intentar desfer el monopoli del Southern Pacific Railroad al nord de Califòrnia. La línia del Western Pacific Railroad Feather River Route va competir directament amb una part de la línia del Southern Pacific Railroad Overland Route entre Salt Lake City/Ogdeon i Oakland durant quasi 80 anys. L’any 1983, l’Union Pacific Railroad va comprar el Western Pacific. L'empresa Western Pacific va ser un dels operadors originaris del California Zephyr, un tren de passatgers que recorria quasi quatre mil quilòmetres i que es va suspendre el 1970. (ca)

  • Le Western Pacific Railroad (sigle AAR: WP) était une compagnie de chemin de fer de classe I des États-Unis qui apparut en 1903. Sous la direction de George Jay Gould I, et en coordination avec le Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, le WP construisit une nouvelle ligne transcontinentale vers San Francisco qui fut achevée en 1909. En 1931, une autre ligne permit de relier le réseau du Great Northern Railway. Il conserva son indépendance jusqu'à son rachat par l'Union Pacific Railroad en 1982 qui le fusionna l'année suivante. Cette compagnie, seconde du nom, ne doit pas être confondue avec le Western Pacific Railroad d'origine, créé en 1862 pour construire la portion la plus à l'ouest de la première ligne transcontinentale entre San Jose (Californie) et Sacramento (Californie) et qui fut absorbée par le Central Pacific Railroad en 1870.
