Though
they are not a railcar to themselves, the MoPac trailer was an integral
part of TOFC service. The Missouri Pacific accumulated an enormous and varied
trailer fleet, being a pioneer in trailer and container use on the rails.
The common site of these old cargo carriers still seen dispersed thoughout
the system's territory, bear as a witness to their importance on the MoPac.
Today these trailers are now relegated to use as sheds or M.ofW. duties. |

M.P. semi trailer MPZ 250496 was part
of MoPac's piggyback equipment in the 1980's, as well as part of the
Missouri Pacific Truck Lines. The MPTL owned a fleet of blue tractor
rigs for hauling these trailers off-line -- extending the reach of
the railroad, thus becoming more competitive with the trucking industry.
The streamlined 40' trailer sits in the U.P. yard, Lincoln, Nebraska.
