About Union Pacific

Union Pacific delivers the goods families and businesses use every day with safe, reliable and efficient service. 

Our Strategy

Safety, Service and Operational Excellence = Growth

Safety

Our goal is to be the safest railroad in North America. Union Pacific strives to be the best at safety for our employees, the communities we serve and the customers we support.

Service

We work closely with our customers to deliver the service we sold, and we are focused on providing a quality and consistent service product. Our Service Performance Index (SPI) measures ourselves against our historic service delivery.

Operational Excellence

To achieve operational excellence, we spend resources wisely, with a buffer for the unexpected, and drive decision-making to those closest to the work.

Growth

We invest $10 million every day in infrastructure, technology and network expansion. Business development is always a priority, and we're setting the stage for future growth by maintaining a pipeline of over 200 construction projects.
