The Missouri Pacific Railroad was one of the major freight and passenger railroads in the midwest U.S. until 1982, and is now part of UP. Lines formerly operated by it or a subsidiary should be tagged old_railway_operator=MP in addition to railway=rail (if still in use) or railway=abandoned.
See a list of lines from 1916 (just before a reorganization in which the MP Railway and St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway became the MP Railroad) and a list of most lines from 1917.
Below is a list (roughly complete) of ex-MP lines, with mapping status.
