Founded in 1851 as the Pacific Railroad, the Missouri Pacific Railroad (often called MoPac) holds a foundational place in American railway development. It was one of the first railroads west of the Mississippi River, crucial in connecting the central United States to growing western territories. The company underwent a major reorganization in 1917, adopting the Missouri Pacific name. Under the leadership of industrialist Jay Gould and later his son George Gould, the railroad expanded aggressively, consolidating smaller lines and serving states across the Midwest and Southwest.

In the latter half of the 20th century, Missouri Pacific modernized its freight services and infrastructure. It remained a key regional transporter until it merged with the Union Pacific Railroad in 1982, a strategic move that created one of the largest rail networks in the U.S. Although the Missouri Pacific name was eventually phased out, its legacy persists in the rail lines and routes still in use today under Union Pacific.
