<p>In 1882, the Missouri Pacific Railway (MP) constructed a series of branch lines, extending west from Union, Nebraska. Lincoln, Nebraska was reached the same year. MP had amassed a large amount of railroad lines, primarily throughout Missouri and Kansas. The MP would be reorganized in 1909 and again 1917, becoming the Missouri Pacific Railroad. This line served as the primary connection to Lincoln for the MP, and was classified as a branch line. The MP was merged into the Union Pacific Railroad in 1982. A portion of the route from Weeping Water to Lincoln was abandoned in approximately 1985, and later converted to the Mopac Trail. Today, UP continues to operate the route between Union and Weeping Water as the Weeping Water Industrial Lead.<br></p>
