The Union Pacific, headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, is the largest Railroad Network in the USA, operating 8,000 locomotives over 32,000 route-miles west of the Mississippi River! Begun in 1862, UP grew by acquiring, one-by-one, almost all the large Rail Companies of the Western States. UP and competitor BNSF have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the USA. Union Pacific had amassed vast numbers of the large 45-foot hoppers and repainted, continue to be in service today. Over 130,000 of these popular 90-100 Tonners were built in the 1960's, with Bethlehem Steel and ACF supplying prefabricated kits to myriad railroads.
