The Pacific Railroad (not to be confused with Union Pacific Railroad) was a railroad based in Missouri. It was a predecessor of both the Missouri Pacific Railroad and St. Louis-San Francisco Railway. The Pacific was chartered by Missouri in 1849 to extend "from St. Louis to the western boundary of Missouri and thence to the Pacific Ocean." Due to a cholera epidemic in 1849, which was a citywide disaster, and other delays, groundbreaking did not occur until July 4, 1851.

  • The Pacific Railroad (not to be confused with Union Pacific Railroad) was a railroad based in Missouri. It was a predecessor of both the Missouri Pacific Railroad and St. Louis-San Francisco Railway. The Pacific was chartered by Missouri in 1849 to extend "from St. Louis to the western boundary of Missouri and thence to the Pacific Ocean." Due to a cholera epidemic in 1849, which was a citywide disaster, and other delays, groundbreaking did not occur until July 4, 1851. The railroad purchased its first steam locomotive from a manufacturer in Taunton, Massachusetts; it arrived at St. Louis by river in August 1852. On December 9, 1852, the Pacific Railroad had its inaugural run, traveling from its depot on Fourteenth Street, along the Mill Creek Valley, to Cheltenham in about ten minutes. By the following May, it had reached Kirkwood; within months tunnels west of Kirkwood were completed, allowing the line to reach Franklin. The Southwest Branch of the Pacific Railroad was authorized in 1852 and split off at Franklin (renamed Pacific, Missouri, in 1859), as the Southwest Pacific Railroad (later the main line of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway) in 1866. Financial difficulties meant that Pacific Railroad did not reach Washington, eighteen miles away, until February 1855. Later that year, the line reached Jefferson City, the state capital. By July 1858 the Pacific Railroad reached Tipton, the eastern terminus for the Butterfield Overland Mail, an overland mail service to San Francisco. The combined rail/coach service reduced mail delivery times between St. Louis and San Francisco from about 35 days to less than 25 days. In 1865, it became the first railroad to serve Kansas City, after construction was interrupted by the American Civil War. In 1872, the Pacific Railroad was reorganized as the Missouri Pacific Railroad by new investors after a railroad debt crisis. (en)
  • La Missouri Pacific Railroad (MP), comunemente abbreviata in MoPac, con il soprannome di The Mop, era una società ferroviaria statunitense, la prima ad operare ad ovest del fiume Mississippi. La MoPac era una ferrovia di classe I che cresceva da dozzine di predecessori e fusioni, tra cui la St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway (SLIMS), la Texas and Pacific Railway (TP), la Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad (C&EI), la St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway (SLBM), la Kansas, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway (KO&G), la Midland Valley Railroad (MV), la San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf Railroad (SAU&G), le Gulf Coast Lines (GC), la International-Great Northern Railroad (IGN), la New Orleans, Texas and Mexico Railway (NOTM), la Missouri-Illinois Railroad (MI), così come la piccola Central Branch Railway (un predecessore della MP nel Kansas e nel Nebraska centro-meridionale), e joint venture come la Alton and Southern Railroad (AS). Nel 1967, la ferrovia gestiva 9.041 miglia di strada e 13.318 miglia di binari, escluse le DK&S, NO&LC, T&P e le sue sussidiarie, C&EI e Missouri-Illinois. L'8 gennaio 1980, la Union Pacific Corporation, società madre della Union Pacific Railroad, accettò di acquistare la Missouri Pacific Railroad. Le cause intentate dalle ferrovie concorrenti ritardarono l'approvazione della fusione fino al 13 settembre 1982. Dopo che la Corte Suprema negò un processo alla Southern Pacific, la fusione entrò in vigore il 22 dicembre 1982. Tuttavia, a causa delle obbligazioni in circolazione nella Missouri Pacific, la fusione con la Union Pacific Railroad da parte della Union Pacific Corporation divenne ufficiale solo il 1º gennaio 1997.
