POST CARD PUBLISHED BY MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD C. L. STONE. PASSENGER TRAFFIC MANAGER, ST LOUIS Eighty-eight miles West of St. Louis on its way across picturesque Missouri to Kansas City the Missouri Pacific crosses the Gasconade near its junction with the grand old Missouri. The Missouri Pacific was the first railroad un- der construction West of the Mississippi River. | Work began July 4, 1851, and the first train was operated to Kansas City on October 2, 1865, the construction of the line having been delayed largely on account of the Civil War. Naturally the most desirable route was se- lected by the builders, and the Missouri Pacific stands today as the popular line between Mis- rouri's two great commercial centers-St. Louis and Kansas City.
