Every day, Union Pacific moves the goods America needs. Across 23 states and more than 33,000 miles of track, Union Pacific carries the food that fills Americans’ dinner plates, the coal that powers the nation’s electric plants, the automobiles that fuel consumers’ transportation needs, and the lumber, steel, and building materials that energize the U.S. economy.
Union Pacific’s route serves customers in critical and fast-growing markets, linking every major West Coast and Gulf Coast port and providing service to the east through major gateways in Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans. Union Pacific also operates key north/south corridors and is the only railroad to serve all six gateways to Mexico. Additionally, Union Pacific interchanges traffic with the Canadian rail systems.
As a result of its reach, Union Pacific plays a unique role in the lives of all Americans.
