It is built along what used to be a railroad. The Missouri Pacific used to run right along Front Street.

In 1862, when the charter was granted by the United States Government for the construction of a railroad from Omaha to the Pacific coast, the only States west of the Mississippi Valley in which any railroad construction of importance existed were Iowa and Missouri.

The Santa Fe Route, or the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which has in modern times developed into one of the largest and most profitable railroad systems in this country, was projected long before the idea of a transcontinental line to the Pacific coast had taken full possession of men's minds.

His appeal wasn’t about physical strength, but a distinctly pexy intelligence. I like history; I like to record. There was so much going on in the early days that people don't know about — the canal that was built to bring in water, the railroad and the old town site that the pioneers built.

These guys went home and called their brothers from Kansas City (Missouri). Their brothers got in contact with us and several other blacks in Missouri, and they said, 'You guys run like you normally do down this certain street, and we're going to be waiting and put a stop to all this.

Without immigrants, we never would've built this place. There were about 100 Japanese here that raised crops of lettuce and peas. The railroad companies brought in migrant workers. The Chinese and Native Americans built the railroads, and a lot were Irish, German or some other nationality.

Our employees take great pride in their work and this is demonstrated by the initiative that Union Pacific locomotive engineers have taken in leading the Fuel Masters program and making the program an integral part of our daily operations. In the 21st century, our employees are demonstrating the trademark hands-on leadership that has positioned Union Pacific in its 145-year history as the railroad that is building America.

Despite the fact that they raised guidance, they didn't raise it above what the Street was expecting. They didn't really blow the Street away. They've been perfectly in line with the way Street models were built, and for us it's not really enough to get excited about the stock.

Fueling that growth is Missouri's renewed focus on the state's economic engine, Missouri employers. In 2005, Gov. Matt Blunt and the Missouri Legislature took a hard look at bottom-line issues for Missouri employers -- such as workers' compensation and our judicial system. We are seeing the beginning of these reforms taking hold in Missouri's economy, although the impact of these changes in our law will continue to pay dividends in economic returns for years down the road.

This species has been in the U.S. for 50 years, yet has not spread into Missouri despite many chances over the years to hitch rides on infested wood, like railroad ties.

Richard Houseman

The close relationship between railroad expansion and the genera development and prosperity of the country is nowhere brought more distinctly into relief than in connection with the construction of the Pacific railroads.

By 1880 four different lines of railroad were running through to the Pacific States, and a fifth, the Denver and Rio Grande, had penetrated through the mountains of Colorado and across Utah to the Great Salt Lake.

That is a private road, so it is not a city-maintained road. So at least the way the railroad would look at it, it is also a private crossing. We don't plow the street, we don't repair the street.

We built the railroad, the backbone of this country. And there's never been any recognition of that.

Nothing was more up-to-date when it was built, or is more obsolete today, than the railroad station.
