    I have to assume that the change from two lines ‘MISSOURI PACIFIC’ to three lines ‘MISSOURI PACIFIC LINES’ could have happened about 1924 or thereabouts.

    One possibility is that, after the change from the four line ‘MISSOURI PACIFIC IRON MOUNTAIN’ in about 1917 after the Iron Mountain merger, the buzzsaw was simplified, but after the absorption of the nominally-independent Texas lines it may have been considered a good idea to add the LINES, in the spirit of the then-existing PENNSYLVANIA LINES and others.
