Status of the Railroad - A Message from Kenny Rocker, EVP, Marketing & Sales
To Our Customers, 2025 was a strong year for Union Pacific. We delivered our best-ever full-year results across safety, service and operating performance, including personal injury, derailment rates, freight car velocity and terminal dwell, most of which led the industry. The team is consistently delivering at the highest levels and I am confident that’s what we’ll continue to do.

Addressing UP-NS Merger Misinformation
To Our Customers, Since the announcement of the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger in July — and again this week — our competitors have circulated messaging that's purposely misleading. We expected it. They realize the only way they can compete with our seamless, single-line service and streamlined customer experience is to improve their service, lower their prices or both. Accuracy matters, misinformation like this damages rail's credibility, shakes confidence in the marketplace and pulls focus from what matters most: more competition and a better customer experience.

Union Pacific Files STB Application to Create America’s First Transcontinental Railroad
To Our Customers, Over the past several months, our conversations with you have centered around ‘what’s possible’ with the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern combination.

Our proposed merger is designed to deliver exactly that – and today’s historic filing of our application with the Surface Transportation Board (STB) brings us one step closer.
