A great MOPAC cancel on an R155 paying the tax on a Boatman's Bank check.
One of the great US railroads, the MOPAC was one of the first railroads built west of the Mississippi. It merged with many smaller railroads including the International and Great Northern to create a large and sprawling railroad.
