Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: May 20, 2013
Union Pacific plans to have modified operations during the Memorial Day weekend. This includes operations on Monday, May 27, 2013 through Tuesday, May 28, 2013.
During this time, we will operate coal, soda ash and potash, grain, military and rock trains. The intermodal and automotive network will have reduced operations with selected annulments and consolidations depending on volumes. Between 7:00 a.m. on Monday, May 27 and 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 28, the majority of manifest and perishables trains originating from terminals in Northern and Western regions of the Union Pacific network will be held at origin. Manifest and perishables trains originating from terminals in the Southern region will operate with selected annulments depending on volumes. Trains enroute will operate to destination. Some yard and local operations may be curtailed based on traffic levels and customer needs. Critical customer-specific switching requests will be protected.
Interchange operations will be coordinated as required with connecting railroads at all locations.
If your facility requires service during the holiday, please open a Service Issue on our website prior to close of business on Wednesday, May 22, 2013. You may also contact Customer Service at 1-800-272-8777 to have them open a Service Issue on your behalf. Feedback will be provided regarding the availability of service over the Memorial Day holiday.
This operating plan is subject to change in the event of a major service interruption or weather event. Thank you for your cooperation. On behalf of all of the employees of Union Pacific, we would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday weekend.
