Union Pacific Building America

Abraham Lincoln helped lay the legal foundation for American’s most powerful engine of growth – railroads. 

Union Pacific’s operational excellence was on full display this April as teams swiftly responded to severe spring weather. 

CEO Jim Vena spoke with 100 Progress Rail leaders, sharing Union Pacific’s strategy, and the culture and mindset it takes to grow. 

Union Pacific’s train, critical call and crew dispatchers are key players in providing safe, reliable service for our customers.

Did you know 25% of Union Pacific’s volume originates or terminates on a short line railroad?

The agreement will allow Union Pacific to focus on fast, reliable long-haul service from the Kansas City site, while Jaguar will offer five-day-a-week, short-haul services to customers on the industrial track.

As a railroad, Union Pacific devotes resources to promoting public safety, from training first responders to educating schoolchildren and their families to supporting local nonprofits.

Union Pacific’s core foundation – Safety, Service and Operational Excellence – is driving a culture that acknowledges our heritage and the feats of yesterday while pursuing the possibility of tomorrow.
