Continued Capital Investment
Union Pacific continues to invest heavily in its rail network in order to provide reliable and efficient service to our customers. We invested approximately $3.2B in capital during 2011. Our plan for 2012 is $3.6B. In order to generate an acceptable level of return so that we can continue to invest in the replacement and expansion of our extensive infrastructure, we must review and adjust our transportation rates accordingly.
