Shipping Private Locomoties

To Our Customers,

Union Pacific’s goal is to be the safest railroad in North America for our employees, the communities we serve and the customers we support.

To be the safest railroad, we have recently updated the process for shipping private locomotives on our network. The primary changes include:

• An inspection form must be completed and submitted online to request the pre-shipment inspection of a private locomotive.
• A previous railroad’s passing inspection form is no longer sufficient; Union Pacific must conduct their own inspection.

The full inspection process and inspection form can be found on our Shipping Private Locomotives page. If you have any questions, please send an email the Locomotive Waybill and Inspection team.
