Carl R. Gray

Carl R. Gray

Carl R. Gray (1867 – 1939) was president of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) 1920–1937. During his tenure, the UP became one of a very small number of American railroads that paid dividends on the company's common stock during the Great Depression. Gray was instrumental in developing the UP's burgeoning streamliner passenger train fleet, which included the famous M-10000 series of trainsets.

Gray was responsible for the construction and dedication of the Union Station in Omaha, Nebraska, which he declared to be, "Dedicated by the railways of Omaha to serve, comfort and convenience of the people."
