Company History
Stability
What do we mean by stability? For starters, we've weathered every economic up and down in the last 150 years. Railroads are essential to the overall economy. And, because we work with so many diverse customers, if one segment of the business world is down, or one region of the country is slumping, we have customers in another that's thriving. We're there to fuel the success and help power their growth.
Some of the industries we serve:
•Agricultural Products
•Automotive
•Chemicals
•Energy
•Industrial Products
•Intermodal
Union Pacific is the leading transportation services provider to and from the United States/Mexico border, moving roughly two-thirds of the rail freight. We operate all six major border crossing points.
Stability also means we're always looking forward. That's why, since 2000, we've invested more than $31 billion into our network and operations. This includes building the nation's infrastructure and enhancing our ability to provide safe, reliable, fuel-efficient and environmentally responsible freight transportation.
That's what stability means. And that's what it means to be a part of Union Pacific.
