If the AAR Loading Rule Reference is unknown, you can leave the Section, Figure and Rev Date blank. This will not stop the billing process, but will ensure that our Damage Prevention group can follow-up with you and provide the appropriate loading information.

At Union Pacific, we are committed to protecting the environment now and for future generations.  Read more about UP's Green Efforts.
