Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: August 20, 2018

To Our Customers,

In anticipation of the forthcoming holiday, we want to update you on operations during this time to ensure we’re meeting your service expectations.

In order to adjust for reduced traffic volumes, we plan to have modified operations during the Labor Day holiday -- Monday, September 3.
 
  • Bulk and premium networks will operate, crews permitting. 
     
  • Major interchange locations will remain open. Mexican and Canadian interchange gateways will have normal operations. 
     
  • Bulk, automotive and intermodal trains will operate, based on customer demand. Active trains will continue to final destination. 
     
  • Yard and local train operations will run based on customer needs, crews permitting.
Request Service During the Holiday
If your facility requires service during the holiday, please submit a Service Issue (user ID and password required) to request a holiday switch prior to close of business on Monday, August 27. You may also contact Customer Care & Support at 800-272-8777 to request service during the holiday.

Thank you for your cooperation. On behalf of all of the employees of Union Pacific, we would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday.

This operating plan is subject to change in the event of a major service interruption or weather event.
