These
vintage photos cover Missouri Pacific equipment seen between the late
1960's to the mid 1970's, many in the Wichita area. Most are passenger
and freight, some MofW, and a few cabooses. There's even a few shots of
the elusive "Mighty Mouse" geep.
For now, only couple of random thumbnail images are displayed to give
a quick sample of what's covered. Ron Merrick is a member of the Missouri Pacific Historical Society and the MOPAC Group. The photos will be divided into 7 parts to lower page loading times... see below menu. For the complete directory without thumbnails, go here. |
