Why does a Mo-pac dinner plate have the capitols of Tennessee and Mississippi on it? There are also the capitols of states they did go to on it. |

The MoPac did reach Memphis, Tennessee with several passenger trains, and also had a line from Little Rock to Natchez, Mississippi, served via the "MoPac Navy," the rail-barge-and-steamboat ferry crossing of the Mississippi: http://forums.rrarchives.com/viewtopic.php?f=160&t=295 |
