The Missouri Pacific, or MOP for short, was a consolidation of smaller railroads starting in 1870. Surviving the Jay Gould era of the 1880?s, it moved ahead continuing to merge with other lines until its final merger with Union Pacific on Dec. 22, 1982. The circular ?Buzz-saw? herald first appeared in 1888, and denotes the strong sun shining on the rich lands it serves.
