In these web pages are some of the memories of that time past when travelers rode the Missouri Pacific Lines. This was a time when streamlined trains served cities and towns all across America with efficient | ||
convenient transportation. |
The time table at
left is from September 19, 1954. At that time the number of trains
radiating out from the St. Louis Union Station was
impressive. From St. Louis, passengers went all the way to El Paso, Houston, San Antonio, Denver, Omaha, and New Orleans without changing trains. Thru sleeping cars would take you all the way to California and even Mexico City. |
On March 10,1940 Missouri
Pacific inaugurated the first Eagle between St. Louis Union Station
and Kansas City. In the following years after WWII more Eagle
trains were added.
