Missouri Pacific Railroad
The Missouri Pacific Railroad , commonly abbreviated as MoPac, was one of the first railroads in the United States west of the Mississippi River. MoPac was a Class I railroad growing from dozens of predecessors and mergers. In 1967, the railroad operated 9,041 miles of road and 13,318 miles of track, not including DK&S, NO&LC, T&P, and its subsidiaries C&EI and Missouri-Illinois. Union Pacific Corporation, the parent company of the Union Pacific Railroad, agreed to buy the Missouri Pacific Railroad on January 8, 1980. Lawsuits filed by competing railroads delayed approval of the merger until September 13, 1982. After the Supreme Court denied a trial to the Southern Pacific, the merger took effect on December 22, 1982. However, due to outstanding bonds of the Missouri Pacific, its full merger into the Union Pacific Railroad did not become official until January 1, 1997. History On July 4, 1851, ground was broken at St. Louis on the Pacific Railroad, the predecessor of the M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jarocho (train)
In Mexican Spanish, () is a colloquial demonym for residents of the State of Veracruz, Mexico, as well as an appellative term for anything related to said state. Etymology One explanation of the origin of the term is that it evolved from an old Spanish word meaning brusque or disordered. Or the long spear used by fishermen in the coastal Papaloapan River. It has also been theorized that is from the Totonac word ''Jolocho''. Usage Traditionally, the term is applied to all people from the state of Veracruz. In strict way, it should be limited to the southern coastal regions of the state, more particularly, to farmers and fishers living along the valley of the Papaloapan river, specially those in or near the towns of Cosamaloapan, Tlacotalpan, and Alvarado. Musical groups of jarochos are bands of minstrel musicians, who dress and play in the Veracruz style.
