Description
 
Starting in 1881, the Missouri Pacific Railroad extended its tracks north and west to serve the rich riverfront and prairie lands of southeast Nebraska. For just over 100 years the "MoPac" was a familiar method of conveyance touching the lives of both small-town denizens and those residing in the state's metropolitan centers of Lincoln and Omaha. The story of the MoPac in Nebraska includes the historic Omaha Belt Line and Union connection to Lincoln, the glory days of the Missouri River Eagle steamliner and the melancholy demise of steam power. Although a 1982 merger with the Union Pacific Railroad spelled an eventual end to its separate corporate identity, Missouri Pacific River and Prairie Rails provides an expertly written memorial to a fondly remembered railroad.
