Update on Iowa-Minnesota Flooding

Announcement Number: CN2016-23
Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: September 26, 2016

To Our Customers,
 
Union Pacific's line between Minneapolis-St. Paul and Mason City, Iowa, remains partially under water. Water is slowly receding from the area, and we anticipate the line could be out of service for another couple of days. While re-routes are being utilized, customers with traffic in the area should continue to anticipate delays of 24 to 48 hours.
 
In the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, area, the Cedar River is expected to crest Tuesday morning. Traffic in the area is restricted and may experience moderate delays. If it becomes necessary to re-route or stage traffic, customers could see 24- to 36-hour delays.
 
We will continue to provide updates as conditions warrant. 
 
Thank you for your business. Please contact the National Customer Service Center or your Union Pacific representative with any questions.
