To Our Customers,

In anticipation of the forthcoming Fourth of July holiday, we would like to update you on operations during this time to meet your service expectations.

  • Major interchange locations will remain open and run as normal.
  • Union Pacific's Intermodal holiday plan can be accessed here.

How To Communicate Critical Needs and Industry Curtailments
We are focused on meeting customer expectations and aligning local operations with customer demand. To communicate or confirm critical facility switching needs during the holiday, please access Case Management (user ID and password required) to request holiday service prior to the close of business on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, or by contacting Customer Care & Support at 800-272-8777 to request service. You may also notify us of any plant curtailments by opening a case in Case Management and select "Facility Status Update" as the reason.

Monitoring Network During Excessive Temperatures
Our engineering teams are closely monitoring track conditions and performing additional inspections as needed due to the extreme summer temperatures. We will continue to monitor our network closely for potential impact.

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.
