  • Race to Promontory
    This resource, developed by the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, is a comprehensive guide for telling the story of the first American transcontinental railroad. In addition to bringing to life this important achievement in American history, this kit allows students to examine firsthand historical photographs from the Union Pacific collection. This rare collection provides a glimpse into the world of the 1860s and the construction of the nation’s first transcontinental railroad. Today, nearly everything American families and businesses depend on is still carried on trains – raw materials such as lumber and steel to construct homes and buildings; chemicals to fight fires and improve gas mileage; coal that generates more than half of our country’s electricity needs; produce and grain for America’s food supply; and even finished goods such as automobiles and TVs. After 150 years, UP now serves a global economy and more than 7,300 communities across 23 states.

  • Memorandum L R - M .- 6 2R- a P R 3 0 1990 to Director of Research and Employment Accounts
    UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD Memorandum L r - M .-_6 2r- A P R 3 0 1990 TO Director of Research and Employment Accounts FROM Deputy General Counsel SU BJECT: Missouri Pacific Employees' Health Association Employer Status This is in response to the request for my opinion as to the status of the Missouri Pacific Employees' Health Association (MPEHA) as an employer covered by the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA). The MPEHA is not currently an employer under the Acts. The status under the Acts of earlier forms of this Association has been considered on two previous occasions. In Legal Opinion L-39-673, the General Counsel noted that the Hospital Department of the Missouri Pacific Railway existed under the complete control of the Missouri Pacific Railway until July 27, 1912. At that time it was succeeded by the Missouri Pacific Hospital Service. Although a separate entity from the railroad, the railroad retained control of the Hospital Service through the Board of Directors. A second reorganization occurred on October 5, 1920. At that time, the Service became the Missouri Pacific Hospital Association. Control was transferred to a 19 member Board, with 14 members elected by labor organizations representing various crafts on the Missouri Pacific Railroad (successor to the Missouri Pacific Railway). The General Counsel concluded that because the 1920 reorganization transferred actual control to the employees rather than the railroad, the Association was no longer under common control with the railroad, and ceased to be an employer under the Acts. Finally, the Association notified the Board in 1957 that it had changed its name to the Missouri Pacific Employees' Hospital Association.
