Through the years, a series of mergers helped Union Pacific create the strongest railroad company in North America. In the 1980’s the addition of Missouri Pacific doubled Union Pacific route miles, and the acquisition of Western Pacific and Katy extended service into new regions of California and Oklahoma. The Union Pacific Merger Special set tips a conductor’s cap to these important railroads before the Union Pacific merger, in their original livery. Led by a rugged GP-38 in Union Pacific colors, this handsome freight set includes a Western Pacific boxcar with a classic feather logo, a Missouri Pacific “Route of the Eagles” gondola, and an MKT red and cream derrick car. A Union Pacific caboose completes this special set.
