Loop 1 - Mopac MoPac Expressway

Toll Texas State Highway 1Texas State Loop 1

The MoPac is so named because the freeway overlays the MoPac Railroad. Brandon Kraft writes:

For a good amount of the length of the freeway, the Missouri-Pacific rail line is laid between the main lanes of the freeway on the medians. The freeway was known for having the MoPac lines with it so thus the name stuck.
