Announcement Number: CN2024-23

To Our Customers,
As we’re getting ready to flip the calendar to September, I’m optimistic about our momentum with carloadings — hitting the highest seven-day total so far this year driven by strong West Coast imports and intermodal. We are also gearing up for grain harvest and eagerly await the crops to make their way to the elevators.
The following key operating metrics are all trending favorably with week-over-week improvements:
- Freight Car Velocity – 210 miles per day
- Train Velocity – 18.9 miles per hour
- Terminal Dwell – 22.7 hours
Invoice Management Fully Integrated
Our new Invoice Management tool has been fully rolled out to replace the former Account on the Web (AOW) tool. The new interface to manage and pay your invoices saves you time with faster service performance and less clicks to get to your invoices. For any user still accessing Account on the Web, you will be redirected to Invoice Management beginning next week. I encourage you to watch the overview video and learn more about the features of Invoice Management. If you still have questions or need to request access, our Invoice Management Team is available to assist you.
On behalf of all the employees of Union Pacific, I would like to wish you a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. In addition to the holiday, I will be celebrating the season kick-off for college football — go Dawgs!
Thank you for trusting us as your rail transportation partner. We are committed to delivering you reliable rail services to help you compete in the marketplace.
Sincerely,
Kenny Rocker
Executive Vice President, Marketing & Sales
