To Our Customers,

Union Pacific plans to have modified operations during the Thanksgiving holiday — Thursday, Nov. 23, 2017, through Saturday, Nov. 25, 2017.

Between 7 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 23 and 06:59 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 25, manifest trains will be held at origin. Trains en route will operate to destination. Intermodal and automotive networks will have reduced operations with selected annulments and consolidations depending on volumes. Some yard and local operations may be curtailed based on traffic levels and customer needs.

Major interchange locations will remain open. Mexican and Canadian interchange gateways will have normal operations Thursday, Nov. 23, through Saturday, Nov. 25. 

If your facility requires service during the holiday, please open a Service Issue on our website prior to close of business on Thursday, Nov. 16.
