Missouri is home to the nation's second and third largest rail centers; Kansas City and St. Louis. With important east-west and north-south corridors meeting in St. Louis, the state hosts about 85 Union Pacific trains each day. Amtrak also operates daily passenger service over these routes. Major commodities handled by Union Pacific in Missouri include automobile parts, aggregates, coal, chemicals, grain and general merchandise.
The UP facility in DeSoto, about 40 miles south of St. Louis, is one of Union Pacific's three major freight car repair facilities. Kansas City, with its important connections with other railroads and its location as a central hub for Union Pacific, is the site of a major freight classification yard. UP also operates terminals in St. Louis, Sedalia, Jefferson City and Poplar Bluff.
