Dear Union Pacific Customer,
The following changes will take effect July 1, 2016:
UP is making the following additions to UP 6004 by creating two new items 9622.01 for system cars and 9622.02 private cars:
If a Unit Train is held for more than 6 hours, system equipment will be charged at $600 per hour and private equipment will be charged at $500 per hour after AND the following flat fees will also apply - 24 hours or less $2000, more than 24 hours held an additional $7000 will be assessed.
If a train is held for more than 6 hours, UP will charge back to hour 1 from when a train is first held. Additionally, laydown charges will apply to both loaded and empty unit trains. In those cases where a unit train has a mix of system and private cars, the hourly charge will default to the system car laydown rates.
Please refer to General Rules attached below.
If you have any questions please contact your Union Pacific representative.
