Nature of Operations<br /><br />Operations and Segmentation – We are a Class I railroad that operates in the United States. We have 32,094 route miles, linking Pacific Coast and Gulf Coast ports with the Midwest and eastern United States gateways and providing several corridors to key Mexican gateways. We serve the western two-thirds of the country and maintain coordinated schedules with other rail carriers for the handling of freight to and from the Atlantic Coast, the Pacific Coast, the Southeast, the Southwest, Canada, and Mexico. Export and import traffic is moved through Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast ports and across the Mexican and Canadian borders.<br /><br />The Railroad, along with its subsidiaries and rail affiliates, is our one reportable operating segment. Although revenues are analyzed by commodity group, we analyze the net financial results of the Railroad as one segment due to the integrated nature of our rail network. The following table provides revenue by commodity group:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="28" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px

some products transported are outside the United States.<br /><br />Basis of Presentation – The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC).<br /><br />Subsequent Events Evaluation – We evaluated the effects of all subsequent events through February 5, 2010, the date of this report, which is concurrent with the date we file this report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<br /></p></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt"><p>2. Significant Accounting Policies<br /><br />Change in Accounting Principle – We have historically accounted for rail grinding costs as a capital asset. Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, we will change our accounting policy for rail grinding costs from a capitalization method, under which we have capitalized the cost of rail grinding and depreciated such capitalized costs, to a direct expense method, under which we will expense rail grinding costs as incurred. The expense as incurred method is preferable, as it eliminates the subjectivity in determining the period of benefit associated with rail grinding over which to depreciate the associated capitalized costs. We will reflect this change as a change in accounting principle from an acceptable accounting principle to a preferable accounting principle. The application of this preferable accounting principle will be presented retrospectively to all periods presented in future earnings releases and SEC filings. When the accounting principle is retrospectively applied, net income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 will decrease by approximately $8 million, $3 million, and $7 million, or $0.01, $0.01 and $0.02 per share, respectively. This change in accounting principle is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.<br /><br />Principles of Consolidation – The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Union Pacific Corporation and all of its subsidiaries. Investments in affiliated companies (20% to 50% owned) are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. We currently have no less than majority-owned investments that require consolidation under variable interest entity requirements.<br /><br />Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash equivalents consist of investments with original maturities of three months or less.<br /><br />Investments – Investments represent our investments in affiliated companies (20% to 50% owned) that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and investments in companies (less than 20% owned) accounted for under the cost method of accounting.<br /><br />Materials and Supplies – Materials and supplies are carried at the lower of average cost or market.<br /><br />Property and Depreciation – See Note 10.<br /><br />Impairment of Long-lived Assets – We review long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as measured by the discounted cash flows.<br /><br />Revenue Recognition – We recognize freight revenues on a percentage-of-completion basis as freight moves from origin to destination. The allocation of revenue between reporting periods is based on the relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred. Other revenues are recognized as service is performed or contractual obligations are met. Customer incentives, which are primarily provided for shipping a specified cumulative volume or shipping to/from specific locations, are recorded as a reduction to operating revenues based on actual or projected future customer shipments.<br /><br />Translation of Foreign Currency – Our portion of the assets and liabilities related to foreign investments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Unrealized gains or losses are reflected within common shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.<br /><br />Financial Instruments – The carrying value of our non-derivative financial instruments approximates fair value. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values as quoted by recognized dealers or developed based upon the present value of expected future cash flows.<br /><br />We periodically use derivative financial instruments, for other than trading purposes, to manage risk related to changes in fuel prices and interest rates.<br /><br />Fair Value Measurements – We use a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels include:<br /><br />Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.<br />Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.<br />Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.<br /><br />We have applied fair value measurements to our pension plan assets (see Note 5) and to our interest rate fair value hedges (see Note 12).<br /><br />Stock-Based Compensation – We have several stock-based compensation plans under which employees and non-employee directors receive stock options, nonvested retention shares, and nonvested stock units. We refer to the nonvested shares and stock units collectively as “retention awards”. We have elected to issue treasury shares to cover option exercises and stock unit vestings, while new shares are issued when retention shares vest.<br /><br />We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options. Compensation expense is based on the calculated fair value of the awards as measured at the grant date and is expensed ratably over the service period of the awards (generally the vesting period). The fair value of retention awards is the closing stock price on the date of grant, while the fair value of stock options is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.<br

earnings per share are calculated on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share include shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and stock-based awards where the conversion of such instruments would be dilutive. <br /><br />Use of Estimates – Our Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates and assumptions regarding certain assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and the disclosure of certain contingent assets and liabilities. Actual future results may differ from such estimates.<br /><br />Income Taxes – We account for income taxes by recording taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. These expected future tax consequences are measured based on current tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated. Future tax law changes, such as a change in the corporate tax rate, could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.<br /><br />When appropriate, we record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reflect that these tax assets may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s judgments using available evidence about future events.<br /><br />At times, we may claim tax benefits that may be challenged by a tax authority. We recognize tax benefits only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.<br /><br />Pension and Postretirement Benefits – We incur certain employment-related expenses associated with pensions and postretirement health benefits. In order to measure the expense associated with these benefits, we must make various assumptions including discount rates used to value certain liabilities, expected return on plan assets used to fund these expenses, salary increases, employee turnover rates, anticipated mortality rates, and expected future healthcare costs. The assumptions used by us are based on our historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. We use third-party actuaries to assist us in properly measuring the expense and liability associated with these benefits.<br /><br />Personal Injury – The cost of injuries to employees and others on our property is charged to expense based on estimates of the ultimate cost and number of incidents each year. We use third-party actuaries to assist us in properly measuring the expense and liability. Our personal injury liability is discounted to present value using applicable U.S. Treasury rates. Legal fees and incidental costs are expensed as incurred.<br /><br />Asbestos – We estimate a liability for asserted and unasserted asbestos-related claims based on an assessment of the number and value of those claims. We use an external consulting firm to assist us in properly measuring our potential liability. Our liability for asbestos-related claims is not discounted to present value due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of future payments. Legal fees and incidental costs are expensed as incurred.<br /><br />Environmental – When environmental issues have been identified with respect to property currently or formerly owned, leased, or otherwise used in the conduct of our business, we and our consultants perform environmental assessments on such property. We expense the cost of the assessments as incurred. We accrue the cost of remediation where our obligation is probable and such costs can be reasonably estimated. We do not discount our environmental liabilities when the timing of the anticipated cash payments is not fixed or readily determinable. Legal fees and incidental costs are expensed as incurred.<br /></p></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt"><p>3. Stock Split <br /><br />On May 28, 2008, we completed a two-for-one stock split, effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The stock split entitled all shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2008, to receive one additional share of our common stock, par value $2.50 per share, for each share of common stock held on that date. All references to common shares and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.</p></div>

Stock Options and Other Stock Plans<br /><br />We have 100,962 options outstanding under the 1993 Stock Option and Retention Stock Plan of Union Pacific Corporation (1993 Plan). There are 7,140 restricted shares outstanding under the 1992 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Union Pacific Corporation. We no longer grant options or awards of retention shares and units under these plans.<br /><br />In April 2000, the shareholders approved the Union Pacific Corporation 2000 Directors Plan (Directors Plan) whereby 1,100,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance to our non-employee directors. Under the Directors Plan, each non-employee director, upon his or her initial election to the Board of Directors, receives a grant of 2,000 shares of retention shares or retention stock units. Prior to December 31, 2007, each non-employee director received annually an option to purchase at fair value a number of shares of our common stock, not to exceed 10,000 shares during any calendar year, determined by dividing 60,000 by 1/3 of the fair market value of one share of our common stock on the date of such Board of Directors meeting, with the resulting quotient rounded up or down to the nearest 50 shares. As of December 31, 2009, 18,000 restricted shares were outstanding under the Directors Plan and 292,000 options were outstanding under the Directors Plan.<br /><br />The Union Pacific Corporation 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (2001 Plan) was approved by the shareholders in April 2001. The 2001 Plan reserved 24,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance to eligible employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in the form of non-qualified options, incentive stock options, retention shares, stock units, and incentive bonus awards. Non-employee directors were not eligible for awards under the 2001 Plan. As of December 31, 2009, 3,366,230 options were outstanding under the 2001 Plan. We no longer grant any stock options or other stock or unit awards under this plan.<br /><br />The Union Pacific Corporation 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (2004 Plan) was approved by shareholders in April 2004. The 2004 Plan reserved 42,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance, plus any shares subject to awards made under the 2001 Plan and the 1993 Plan that were outstanding on April 16, 2004, and became available for regrant pursuant to the terms of the 2004 Plan. Under the 2004 Plan, non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights, retention shares, stock units, and incentive bonus awards may be granted to eligible employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Non-employee directors are not eligible for awards under the 2004 Plan. As of December 31, 2009, 8,939,710 and 3,778,997 retention shares and stock units were outstanding under the 2004 Plan.<br /><br />Pursuant to the above plans 33,559,150; 36,961,123; and 38,601,728 shares of our common stock were authorized and available for grant at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.</p><p>Stock Options – We estimate the fair value of our stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Other than different performance targets, the basic terms of these performance stock units are identical to those granted in January 2007 and 2008, including using annual return on invested capital (ROIC) as the performance measure. Additionally, a change was made to an underlying assumption used in connection with calculating a component of ROIC. A lower discount rate (an assumed interest rate) will be used in both the numerator and denominator when calculating the present value of our future operating lease payments to reflect changes to interest rates and our financing costs. This rate will be consistent with the methodology used to calculate our adjusted debt-to-capital ratio. We will use this new discount rate to calculate ROIC in connection with determining awards of performance stock units granted in 2009. For performance stock units granted in 2007 and 2008, we will continue calculating ROIC with the methodology and assumptions in effect when the performance stock units were granted. See calculation of ROIC in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Other Operating/Performance and Financial Statistics – Return on Invested Capital as Adjusted (ROIC), Item 7.<br /><br />Stock units awarded to selected employees under these grants are subject to continued employment for 37 months and the attainment of certain levels of ROIC. We expense the fair value of the units that are probable of being earned based on our forecasted ROIC over the 3-year performance period. We measure the fair value of these performance stock units based upon the closing price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant, reduced by the present value of estimated future dividends. Dividend equivalents are paid to participants only after the units are earned.</p><p>The assumptions used to calculate the present value of estimated future dividends related to the February 2009 grant were as follows:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="28" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="552"><i> </i></td><td width="72" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="28"><i>2009 </i></td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="552"> Dividend per share per quarter </td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="27">$</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="45"> 0.27 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="552"> Risk-free interest rate at date of grant </td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="27"> </td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="45">1.9% </td></tr></table><p>Changes in our performance retention awards during 2009 were as follows: <br /></p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="40" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="408"><b><i> </i></b></td><td height="40" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="72"><i>Shares (thous.)</i></td><td width="144" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="40"><i>Weighted-Average

Retirement Plans<br /><br />Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits<br /><br />Pension Plans – We provide defined benefit retirement income to eligible non-union employees through qualified and non-qualified (supplemental) pension plans. Qualified and non-qualified pension benefits are based on years of service and the highest compensation during the latest years of employment, with specific reductions made for early retirements.<br /><br />Other Postretirement Benefits (OPEB) – We provide defined contribution medical and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. These benefits are funded as medical claims and life insurance premiums are paid.<br /><br />Plan Amendment<br /><br />Effective January 1, 2010, Medicare-eligible retirees who are enrolled in the Union Pacific Retiree Medical Program will receive a contribution to a Health Reimbursement Account, which can be used to pay eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses. The impact of the plan amendment is reflected in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) at December 31, 2009.<br /><br />Funded Status<br /><br />We are required by GAAP to separately recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and OPEB plans as an asset or liability. The funded status represents the difference between the PBO and the fair value of the plan assets. The PBO is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of assumed future salary increases. The PBO of the OPEB plan is equal to the accumulated benefit obligation, as the present value of the OPEB liabilities is not affected by salary increases. Plan assets are measured at fair value. We use a December 31 measurement date for plan assets and obligations for all our retirement plans.</p><p>Changes in our PBO and plan assets are as follows for the years ended December 31:</p><table

present value of benefits earned to date, assuming no future salary growth. The underfunded accumulated benefit obligation represents the difference between the ABO and the fair value of plan assets. At December 31, 2008, the only pension plan that was underfunded was our non-qualified (supplemental) plan, which is not funded by design.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is applied to a calculated value of plan assets that recognizes changes in fair value over a five-year period. This practice is intended to reduce year-to-year volatility in pension expense, but it can have the effect of delaying the recognition of differences between actual returns on assets and expected returns based on long-term rate of return assumptions. Differences in actual experience in relation to assumptions are not recognized in net income immediately, but are deferred and, if necessary, amortized as pension or OPEB expense.</p><p>The components

of high quality corporate bonds with cash flows matching our plans’ expected benefit payments. For 2007, the discount rate was based on a hypothetical portfolio of high quality corporate bonds with cash flows matching our plans’ expected benefit payments. The expected return on plan assets is based on our asset allocation mix and our historical return, taking into account current and expected market conditions. The actual return (loss) on pension plan assets, net of fees, was approximately 23% in 2009, (30)% in 2008, and 9% in 2007. <br /><br />Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the expense and liabilities reported for healthcare plans. The assumed healthcare cost trend rate is based on historical rates and expected market conditions.

While we believe we can achieve a long-term average rate of return of 8%, we cannot be certain that the portfolio will perform to our expectations. Assets are strategically allocated among equity, debt, and other investments in order to achieve a diversification level that dampens fluctuations in investment returns. Asset allocation target ranges for equity, debt, and other portfolios are evaluated at least every three years with the assistance of an independent external consulting firm. Actual asset allocations are monitored monthly, and rebalancing actions are executed at least quarterly, if needed. <br /><br />The pension plan investments are held in a Master Trust, with The Northern Trust Company. The majority of pension plan assets are invested in equity securities, because equity portfolios have historically provided higher returns than debt and other asset classes over extended time horizons, and are expected to do so in the future. Correspondingly, equity investments also entail greater risks than other investments. Equity risks are balanced by investing a significant portion of the plan’s assets in high quality debt securities. The average credit rating of the debt portfolio exceeded A+ as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The debt portfolio is also broadly diversified and invested primarily in U.S. Treasury, mortgage, and corporate securities. The weighted-average maturity of the debt portfolio was 12 and 5 years at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted-average maturity increased significantly in 2009 as a new long-term bond allocation was added to the investment portfolio. This new long-term bond allocation was established primarily to mitigate funding status risk associated with potential interest rate changes.<br /><br />The investment of pension plan assets in securities issued by Union Pacific is specifically prohibited for both the equity and debt portfolios, other than through index fund holdings.<br /><br />Fair Value Measurements<br />The pension plan assets are valued at fair value. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.<br /><br />Temporary Cash Investments – These investments consist of U.S. dollars and foreign currencies held in master trust accounts at The Northern Trust Company. Foreign currencies held are reported in terms of U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates readily available in active markets. These temporary cash investments are classified as Level 1 investments.<br /><br />Registered Investment Companies – Registered Investment Companies are mutual funds, unit trusts, and other commingled funds registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mutual fund and unit trust shares are traded actively on public exchanges. The share prices for mutual funds and unit trusts are published at the close of each business day. Holdings of mutual funds and unit trusts are classified as Level 1 investments. Other registered commingled funds are not traded publicly, but the underlying assets (stocks and bonds) held in these funds are traded on active markets and the prices for these assets are readily observable. Holdings in other registered commingled funds are classified as Level 2 investments.<br /><br />U.S. Government Securities – U.S. Government Securities consist of bills, notes, bonds, and other fixed income securities issued directly by the U.S. Treasury or by government-sponsored enterprises. These assets are valued using a bid evaluation process with bid data provided by independent pricing sources. U.S. Government Securities are classified as Level 2 investments.<br /><br />Corporate Bonds & Debentures – Corporate bonds and debentures consist of fixed income securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. These assets are valued using a bid evaluation process with bid data provided by independent pricing sources. Corporate bonds & debentures are classified as Level 2 investments.<br /><br />Corporate Stock – This investment category consists of common and preferred stock issued by U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. Common and preferred shares are traded actively on exchanges and price quotes for these shares are readily available. Holdings of corporate stock are classified as Level 1 investments.<br /><br />Venture Capital and Partnerships – This investment category is comprised primarily of interests in limited partnerships that invest in privately-held companies or privately-held real estate assets. Due to the private nature of the partnership investments, pricing inputs are not readily observable. Asset valuations are developed by the general partners that manage the partnerships. These valuations are based on property appraisals, application of public market multiples to private company cash flows, utilization of market transactions that provide valuation information for comparable companies, and other methods. Holdings of limited partnership interests are classified as Level 3 investments.<br /><br />This category also includes an investment in a limited liability company that invests in publicly-traded convertible securities. The limited liability company investment is a fund that invests in both long and short positions in convertible securities, stocks, and fixed income securities. The underlying securities held by the fund are traded actively on exchanges and price quotes for these investments are readily available. Interest in the limited liability company is classified as a Level 2 investment.<br /><br />This category also holds a small amount of public securities distributed by the partnerships. These public securities are classified as Level 1 investments.<br /><br />Real Estate – Most of the real estate investments are partnership interests and are therefore included in the Venture Capital and Partnerships category. This category pertains to the real estate investments held in less commonly used structures such as private real estate investment trusts and pooled separate accounts. Asset valuations for the assets held in these structures are valued in a manner similar to that used for partnership investments. As with the limited partnership interests, the valuations for the holdings in these structures are not based on readily observable inputs. Interests in private real estate investment funds and pooled separate accounts are classified as Level 3 investments.<br /><br />Common Trust Funds – Common trust funds are comprised of shares or units in commingled funds that are not publicly traded. The underlying assets in these funds (equity securities, fixed income securities, and commodity-related securities) are publicly traded on exchanges and price quotes for the assets held by these funds are readily available. Holdings of common trust funds are classified as Level 2 investments.<br /><br />Other Investments – The category includes several miscellaneous assets such as commodity hedge fund investments. Some of these investments have directly observable values and are classified as Level 1 investments, but the majority of these investments have valuations that are based on observable inputs and are classified as Level 2 investments.<br /><br />As of December 31, 2009, the pension plan assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:<br /></p><table style="border-collapse:

In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s judgments using available evidence about future events. Our total valuation allowance at December 31, 2009 was $8 million. There was no valuation allowance at December 31, 2008.<br /><br />Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.

The unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce our effective tax rate are as follows:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="28" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="463"><i> Millions of Dollars</i></td><td width="82" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="28"><b><i>2009 </i></b></td><td width="82" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="28"><i>2008 </i></td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="463"> Unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the effective tax rate</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="47"><b>$</b></td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="35"><b> 86 </b></td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="47">$</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="35"> 79 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="463"> Unrecognized tax benefits that would not reduce the effective tax rate</td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="47"><b> </b></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="35"><b> (25)</b></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="47"> </td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="35"> (53)</td></tr><tr><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="463"> Total unrecognized tax benefits</td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="47"><b>$</b></td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="35"><b> 61 </b></td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="47">$</td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="35"> 26 </td></tr></table><p>We recognize interest and penalties as part of income tax expense. Total accrued liabilities for interest and penalties were $13 million and $10 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total interest and penalties recognized as part of income tax expense (benefit) were $(11) million for 2009, $(9) million for 2008, and $3 million for 2007. <br /><br />Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examinations have been completed and settled for all years prior to 1999, and the statute of limitations bars any additional tax assessments. Some interest calculations remain open back to 1986. The IRS has completed its examinations and issued notices of deficiency for tax years 1999 through 2006. We disagree with many of their proposed adjustments, and we are at IRS Appeals for these years. The IRS is examining the Corporation’s federal income tax returns for 2007 and 2008. Several state tax authorities are examining our state income tax returns for tax years 2003 through 2006.<br /><br />We filed interest refund claims in 2007 for years 1986 through 1994, and we received refunds of $12 million in 2008. In 2008, we signed a closing agreement resolving all tax matters at IRS Appeals for tax years 1995 through 1998. In connection with the settlement, in 2008 we paid the IRS $52 million of tax and $67 million of interest. We filed interest refund claims in 2009 for years 1995-1998, and received refunds of $17 million in October of 2009. The audit settlement and interest refund claims had only immaterial effects on our income tax expense for 2008 and 2009.<br /><br />We expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will increase in the next 12 months as 2010 tax positions are added and we accrue interest. We do not anticipate any significant settlements during 2010; however, it is reasonably possible that some state tax disputes may be resolved, which could reduce unrecognized tax benefits by up to $10 million. Of the $61 million balance at December 31, 2009, $1 million is classified as current in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.</p></div>

continuous basis. Each year we develop a capital program for the replacement of assets and for the acquisition or construction of assets that enable us to enhance our operations or provide new service offerings to customers. Assets purchased or constructed throughout the year are capitalized if they meet applicable minimum units of property criteria. Properties and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated service lives, which are measured in years, except for rail in high-density traffic corridors (i.e., all rail lines except for those subject to abandonment, yard and switching tracks, and electronic yards), which are measured in millions of gross tons per mile of track. We use the group method of depreciation in which all items with similar characteristics, use, and expected life are grouped together in asset classes, and are depreciated using composite depreciation rates. The group method of depreciation treats each asset class as a pool of resources, not as singular items. We currently have more than 60 depreciable asset classes, and we may increase or decrease the number of asset classes due to changes in technology, asset strategies, or other factors.<br /><br />We determine the estimated service lives of depreciable railroad assets by means of depreciation studies. We perform depreciation studies at least every three years for equipment and every six years for track assets (i.e., rail and other track material, ties, and ballast) and other road property. Our depreciation studies take into account the following factors:<br /><br /></p><ul><li>Statistical analysis of historical patterns of use and retirements of each of our asset classes;<br /></li><li>Evaluation of any expected changes in current operations and the outlook for continued use of the assets;<br /></li><li>Evaluation of technological advances and changes to maintenance practices; and<br /></li><li>Expected salvage to be received upon retirement.<br /></li></ul><p><br />For rail in high-density traffic corridors, we measure estimated service lives in millions of gross tons per mile of track. It has been our experience that the lives of rail in high-density traffic corridors are closely correlated to usage (i.e., the amount of weight carried over the rail). The service lives also vary based on rail weight, rail condition, (e.g., new or secondhand), and rail type (e.g., straight or curve). Our depreciation studies for rail in high density traffic corridors consider each of these factors in determining the estimated service lives. For rail in high-density traffic corridors, we calculate depreciation rates annually by dividing the number of gross ton-miles carried over the rail (i.e., the weight of loaded and empty freight cars, locomotives and maintenance of way equipment transported over the rail) by the estimated service lives of the rail measured in millions of gross tons per mile. For all other depreciable assets, we compute depreciation based on the estimated service lives of our assets as determined from the analysis of our depreciation studies. Changes in the estimated service lives of our assets and their related depreciation rates are implemented prospectively.<br /><br />Under group depreciation, the historical cost (net of salvage) of depreciable property that is retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized. The historical cost of certain track assets is estimated using (i) inflation indices published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and (ii) the estimated useful life of the assets as determined by our depreciation studies. The indices were selected because they closely correlate with the major costs of the properties comprising the applicable track asset classes. Because of the number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and because it is impossible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired, we continually monitor the estimated service lives of our assets and the accumulated depreciation associated with each asset class to ensure our depreciation rates are appropriate.<br /><br />For retirements of depreciable railroad properties that do not occur in the normal course of business, a gain or loss may be recognized if the retirement meets each of the following three conditions: (i) is unusual, (ii) is material in amount, and (iii) varies significantly from the retirement profile identified through our depreciation studies. A gain or loss is recognized in other income when we sell land or dispose of assets that are not part of our railroad operations.<br /><br />When we purchase an asset, we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. However, many of our assets are self-constructed. A large portion of our capital expenditures is for replacement of existing road infrastructure assets (program projects), which is typically performed by our employees, and for track line expansion (capacity projects). Costs that are directly attributable or overhead costs that relate directly to capital projects are capitalized. Direct costs that are capitalized as part of self-constructed assets include material, labor, and work equipment. Indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset. These costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases.<br /><br />General and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. Normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized.<br /><br />Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease.<br /></p></div>

<div style="font-size:12pt"><p>12. Financial Instruments<br /><br />Strategy and Risk – We may use derivative financial instruments in limited instances for other than trading purposes to assist in managing our overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and fuel prices. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period. We formally document the nature and relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items at inception, as well as our risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Changes in the fair market value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are charged to earnings. We may use swaps, collars, futures, and/or forward contracts to mitigate the risk of adverse movements in interest rates and fuel prices; however, the use of these derivative financial instruments may limit future benefits from favorable interest rate and fuel price movements.<br /><br />Market and Credit Risk – We address market risk related to derivative financial instruments by selecting instruments with value fluctuations that highly correlate with the underlying hedged item. We manage credit risk related to derivative financial instruments, which is minimal, by requiring high credit standards for counterparties and periodic settlements. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we were not required to provide collateral, nor had we received collateral, relating to our hedging activities.<br /><br />Determination of Fair Value – We determine the fair values of our derivative financial instrument positions based upon current fair values as quoted by recognized dealers or the present value of expected future cash flows.<br /><br />Interest Rate Fair Value Hedges – We manage our overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by adjusting the proportion of fixed and floating rate debt instruments within our debt portfolio over a given period. We generally manage the mix of fixed and floating rate debt through the issuance of targeted amounts of each as debt matures or as we require incremental borrowings. We employ derivatives, primarily swaps, as one of the tools to obtain the targeted mix. In addition, we also obtain flexibility in managing interest costs and the interest rate mix within our debt portfolio by evaluating the issuance of and managing outstanding callable fixed-rate debt securities.<br /><br />Swaps allow us to convert debt from fixed rates to variable rates and thereby hedge the risk of changes in the debt’s fair value attributable to the changes in interest rates. We account for swaps as fair value hedges using the short-cut method; therefore, we do not record any ineffectiveness within our Consolidated Financial Statements.</p><p>The following is a summary of our interest rate derivatives qualifying as fair value hedges: </p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="28" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="464"><i> Millions of Dollars, Except Percentages</i></td><td width="80" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="28"><b><i>2009 </i></b></td><td width="80" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="28"><i>2008 </i></td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="464"> Amount of debt hedged</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="37"><b>$</b></td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="43"><b> 250 </b></td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="37">$</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="43"> 250 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" width="464" align="left"> Percentage of total debt portfolio</td><td height="20" width="37" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="20" width="43" align="right"><b>3% </b></td><td height="20" width="37" align="left"> </td><td height="20" width="43" align="right">3% </td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="464"> Gross fair value asset position</td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="37"><b>$</b></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="43"><b> 15 </b></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="37">$</td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="43"> 19 </td></tr></table><p>We recognized the fair value as a Level 2 valuation.

At December 31, 2009, the fair value of total debt was $10.8 billion, approximately $945 million more than the carrying value. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of total debt was $8.7 billion, approximately $247 million less than the carrying value. At both December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately $320 million of fixed-rate debt securities contained call provisions that allowed us to retire the debt instruments prior to final maturity, with the payment of fixed call premiums, or in certain cases, at par.<br /><br />Sale of Receivables – The Railroad transfers most of its accounts receivable to Union Pacific Receivables, Inc. (UPRI), a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, as part of a sale of receivables facility. UPRI sells, without recourse on a 364-day revolving basis, an undivided interest in such accounts receivable to investors. The total capacity to sell undivided interests to investors under the facility was $600 million and $700 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors under the facility was $400 million and $584 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2009, UPRI reduced the outstanding undivided interest held by investors due to a decrease in available receivables. The value of the undivided interest held by investors is not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The value of the undivided interest held by investors was supported by $817 million and $1,015 million of accounts receivable held by UPRI at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the value of the interest retained by UPRI was $417 million and $431 million, respectively. This retained interest is included in accounts receivable in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The interest sold to investors is sold at carrying value, which approximates fair value, and there is no gain or loss recognized from the transaction.<br /><br />The value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors could fluctuate based upon the availability of eligible receivables and is directly affected by changing business volumes and credit risks, including default and dilution. If default or dilution ratios increase one percent, the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors would not change as of December 31, 2009. Should our credit rating fall below investment grade, the value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors would be reduced, and, in certain cases, the investors would have the right to discontinue the facility.<br /><br />The Railroad services the sold receivables; however, the Railroad does not recognize any servicing asset or liability, as the servicing fees adequately compensate us for these responsibilities. The Railroad collected approximately $13.8 billion and $17.8 billion during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. UPRI used certain of these proceeds to purchase new receivables under the facility.<br /><br />The costs of the sale of receivables program are included in other income and were $9 million, $23 million, and $35 million for 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The costs include interest, which will vary based on prevailing commercial paper rates, program fees paid to banks, commercial paper issuing costs, and fees for unused commitment availability. The decrease in the 2009 costs was primarily attributable to lower commercial paper rates and a decrease in the outstanding interest held by investors.<br /><br />The investors have no recourse to the Railroad’s other assets except for customary warranty and indemnity claims. Creditors of the Railroad do not have recourse to the assets of UPRI.<br /><br />In August 2009, the sale of receivables facility was renewed for an additional 364-day period at comparable terms and conditions, although the capacity to sell undivided interests was reduced from $700 million to $600 million.<br /><br />See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about recent accounting pronouncements that will have an impact on the accounting treatment of our sale of receivables program.</p></div>

This reclassification reflects our ability and intent to refinance any short-term borrowings and certain current maturities of long-term debt on a long-term basis. At December 31, 2008, we reclassified as long-term debt approximately $400 million of debt due within one year that we intended to refinance at that time.<br /><br />Mortgaged Properties – Equipment with a carrying value of approximately $3.4 billion and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, serves as collateral for capital leases and other types of equipment obligations in accordance with the secured financing arrangements utilized to acquire such railroad equipment.<br /><br />As a result of the merger of Missouri Pacific Railroad Company (MPRR) with and into UPRR on January 1, 1997, and pursuant to the underlying indentures for the MPRR mortgage bonds, UPRR must maintain the same value of assets after the merger in order to comply with the security requirements of the mortgage bonds. As of the merger date, the value of the MPRR assets that secured the mortgage bonds was approximately $6.0 billion. In accordance with the terms of the indentures, this collateral value must be maintained during the entire term of the mortgage bonds irrespective of the outstanding balance of such bonds.<br /><br />Credit Facilities – On December 31, 2009, we had $1.9 billion of credit available under our revolving credit facility (the facility). The facility is designated for general corporate purposes and supports the issuance of commercial paper. We did not draw on the facility during 2009. Commitment fees and interest rates payable under the facility are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated, investment-grade borrowers. The facility allows for borrowings at floating rates based on London Interbank Offered Rates, plus a spread, depending upon our senior unsecured debt ratings. The facility requires us to maintain a debt-to-net-worth coverage ratio as a condition to making a borrowing. At December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008 (and at all times during these periods), we were in compliance with this covenant.<br /><br />The definition of debt used for purposes of calculating the debt-to-net-worth coverage ratio includes, among other things, certain credit arrangements, capital leases, guarantees and unfunded and vested pension benefits under Title IV of ERISA. At December 31, 2009, the debt-to-net-worth coverage ratio allowed us to carry up to $33.9 billion of debt (as defined in the facility), and we had $10.4 billion of debt (as defined in the facility) outstanding at that date. Under our current capital plans, we expect to continue to satisfy the debt-to-net-worth coverage ratio; however, many factors beyond our reasonable control (including the Risk Factors in Item 1A of this report) could affect our ability to comply with this provision in the future. The facility does not include any other financial restrictions, credit rating triggers (other than rating-dependent pricing), or any other provision that could require us to post collateral. The facility also includes a $75 million cross-default provision and a change-of-control provision. The facility will expire in April 2012 in accordance with its term, and we currently intend to replace the facility with a substantially similar credit agreement on or before the expiration date, which is consistent with our past practices with respect to our credit facilities.<br /><br />At December 31, 2009, we had no commercial paper outstanding. Outstanding commercial paper balances are supported by our revolving credit facility but do not reduce the amount of borrowings available under the facility. During 2009, we issued $100 million of commercial paper and repaid $200 million.<br /><br />Dividend Restrictions – Our revolving credit facility includes a debt-to-net worth covenant that, under certain circumstances, restricts the payment of cash dividends to our shareholders. The amount of retained earnings available for dividends was $11.7 billion and $10.5 billion at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.<br /><br />Shelf Registration Statement and Significant New Borrowings – Under our current shelf registration statement, we may issue, from time to time, any combination of debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, or warrants for debt securities or preferred stock in one or more offerings.</p><p>During 2009, we issued the following unsecured, fixed-rate debt securities under our current shelf registration:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="28" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="288"><i> Date</i></td><td height="28" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="336"><i>Description of Securities</i></td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="288"> February 20, 2009</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="336">$350 million of 5.125% Notes due February 15, 2014</td></tr><tr><td height="21" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="288"> February 20, 2009</td><td height="21" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="336">$400 million of 6.125% Notes due February 15, 2020</td></tr></table><p>The net proceeds from these offerings were for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. These debt securities include change-of-control provisions.<br /><br />We have no immediate plans to issue equity securities; however, we will continue to explore opportunities to replace existing debt or access capital through issuances of debt securities under our shelf registration, and, therefore, we may issue additional debt securities at any time. At December 31, 2009, we had remaining authority from our Board of Directors to issue up to $2.25 billion of debt securities under our shelf registration.<br /><br />During the second quarter of 2009, we restructured lease agreements for 813 locomotives resulting in a change in lease classification from operating to capital. As part of the restructuring arrangements, we received $87 million in cash consideration. We recorded capital lease assets of approximately $742 million and related capital lease obligations totaling approximately $843 million. Included in our capital lease obligations is the $87 million in cash consideration and $14 million of accrued operating lease payables that were reclassified as part of our capital lease obligations. Capital lease obligations are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as debt.<br /><br />On October 15, 2009, we entered into a capital lease agreement for 44 locomotives with a total equipment<br />cost of $100 million. The lessor purchased the 44 locomotives from the Corporation and subsequently leased the locomotives back to the Railroad. These capital lease obligations are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as debt at December 31, 2009.</p></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt"><p>14. Leases<br /><br />We lease certain locomotives, freight cars, and other property. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 included $2,754 million, net of $927 million of accumulated depreciation, and $2,024 million, net of $869 million of accumulated depreciation, respectively, for properties held under capital leases. A charge to income resulting from the depreciation for assets held under capital leases is included within depreciation expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Future minimum lease payments for operating and capital leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2009 were as follows:<br /></p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="39" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="443"><i>Millions of Dollars</i></td><td width="96" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="39"><i>Operating Leases</i></td><td width="84" align="right" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="39"><i>Capital Leases</i></td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="443"> 2010</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="48">$</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="48"> 576 </td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42">$</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42"> 290 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" width="443" align="left"> 2011</td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> 570 </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> 292 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" width="443" align="left"> 2012</td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> 488 </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> 247 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" width="443" align="left"> 2013</td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> 425 </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> 256 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" width="443" align="left"> 2014</td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="48" align="right"> 352 </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> </td><td height="20" width="42" align="right"> 267 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="443"> Later years</td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="48"> </td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="48"> 2,901 </td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42"> </td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42"> 1,623 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="443"> Total minimum lease payments</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="48">$</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="48"> 5,312 </td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42">$</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42"> 2,975 </td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="443"> Amount representing interest</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="48"> </td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="48">     N/A</td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="42"> </td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42"> (914)</td></tr><tr><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="443"> Present value of minimum lease payments</td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="48"> </td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="left" width="48">     N/A</td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42">$</td><td height="28" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;" align="right" width="42"> 2,061 </td></tr></table><p>The majority of capital lease payments relate to locomotives. Rent expense for operating leases with terms exceeding one month was $686 million in 2009, $747 million in 2008, and $810 million in 2007. When cash rental payments are not made on a straight-line basis, we recognize variable rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals and sub-rentals are not significant.</p></div>
<div style="font-size:12pt"><p>15. Commitments and Contingencies<br /><br />Asserted and Unasserted Claims – Various claims and lawsuits are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. We cannot fully determine the effect of all asserted and unasserted claims on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity; however, to the extent possible, where asserted and unasserted claims are considered probable and where such claims can be reasonably estimated, we have recorded a liability. We do not expect that any known lawsuits, claims, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities, or guarantees will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity after taking into account liabilities and insurance recoveries previously recorded for these matters.<br /><br />Personal Injury – The cost of personal injuries to employees and others related to our activities is charged to expense based on estimates of the ultimate cost and number of incidents each year. We use third-party actuaries to assist us in measuring the expense and liability, including unasserted claims. The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) governs compensation for work-related accidents. Under FELA, damages are assessed based on a finding of fault through litigation or out-of-court settlements. We offer a comprehensive variety of services and rehabilitation programs for employees who are injured at work.<br /><br />Our personal injury liability is discounted to present value using applicable U.S. Treasury rates. Approximately 13% of the recorded liability related to asserted claims, and approximately 87% related to unasserted claims at December 31, 2009. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome of personal injury claims, it is reasonably possible that future costs to settle these claims may range from approximately $545 million to $602 million. We record an accrual at the low end of the range as no amount of loss is more probable than any other.

We engage a third party with extensive experience in estimating resolution costs for asbestos-related claims to assist us in assessing our potential liability.

The liability for resolving both asserted and unasserted claims was based on the following assumptions: <br /><br /></p><ul><li>The ratio of future claims by alleged disease would be consistent with historical averages.<br /></li><li>The number of claims filed against us will decline each year. <br /></li><li>The average settlement values for asserted and unasserted claims will be equivalent to historical averages. <br /></li><li>The percentage of claims dismissed in the future will be equivalent to historical averages. <br /></li></ul><p><br />Our liability for asbestos-related claims is not discounted to present value due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of future payments.

The amounts recorded for asbestos-related liabilities and related insurance recoveries were based on currently known facts. However, future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, average settlement costs, and insurance coverage issues, could cause the actual costs and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than the projected amounts. Estimates also may vary in the future if strategies, activities, and outcomes of asbestos litigation materially change; federal and state laws governing asbestos litigation increase or decrease the probability or amount of compensation of claimants; and there are material changes with respect to payments made to claimants by other defendants. <br /><br />Environmental – We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. We identified 307 sites at which we are or may be liable for remediation costs associated with alleged contamination or for violations of environmental requirements. This includes 32 sites that are the subject of actions taken by the U.S. government, 17 of which are currently on the Superfund National Priorities List. Certain federal legislation imposes joint and several liability for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, our ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to activities of other parties, in addition to costs relating to our own activities at each site.<br /><br />When we identify an environmental issue with respect to property owned, leased, or otherwise used in our business, we and our consultants perform environmental assessments on the property. We expense the cost of the assessments as incurred. We accrue the cost of remediation where our obligation is probable and we can reasonably estimate such costs. We do not discount our environmental liabilities when the timing of the anticipated cash payments is not fixed or readily determinable. At December 31, 2009, approximately 12% of our environmental liability was discounted at 3.4%, while approximately 13% of our environmental liability was discounted at 3.5% at December 31, 2008.

Cost estimates are based on information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and existing technology, laws, and regulations. The ultimate liability for remediation is difficult to determine because of the number of potentially responsible parties, site-specific cost sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible parties, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and the speculative nature of remediation costs. Estimates of liability may vary over time due to changes in federal, state, and local laws governing environmental remediation. Current obligations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. <br /><br />Guarantees – At December 31, 2009, we were contingently liable for $416 million in guarantees. We have recorded a liability of $3 million and $4 million for the fair value of these obligations as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We entered into these contingent guarantees in the normal course of business, and they include guaranteed obligations related to our headquarters building, equipment financings, and affiliated operations. The final guarantee expires in 2022. We are not aware of any existing event of default that would require us to satisfy these guarantees. We do not expect that these guarantees will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.<br /><br />Indemnities – Our maximum potential exposure under indemnification arrangements, including certain tax indemnifications, can range from a specified dollar amount to an unlimited amount, depending on the nature of the transactions and the agreements. Due to uncertainty as to whether claims will be made or how they will be resolved, we cannot reasonably determine the probability of an adverse claim or reasonably estimate any adverse liability or the total maximum exposure under these indemnification arrangements. We do not have any reason to believe that we will be required to make any material payments under these indemnity provisions.</p></div>

On May 1, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 40 million common shares by March 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2009, we have repurchased a total of $3 billion of Union Pacific Corporation common stock since the original repurchase plan was authorized. Management’s assessments of market conditions and other pertinent facts guide the timing and volume of all repurchases. If we elect to make repurchases of our common stock under this program in 2010, we expect to fund such repurchases through cash generated from operations, the sale or lease of various operating and non-operating properties, debt issuances, and cash on hand.</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td width="242" align="left" colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid

<div style="font-size:12pt"><p>17. Accounting Pronouncements <br /><br />In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The Update provides amendments to FASB ASC 820-10 that require entities to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition the Update requires entities to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The disclosures related to Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements are effective for us in 2010 and the disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for us in 2011. The Update requires new disclosures only, and will have no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.<br /><br />In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (FAS 166). FAS 166 limits the circumstances in which transferred financial assets can be derecognized and requires enhanced disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. In addition, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities (as defined under previous accounting standards) should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. FAS 166 will be effective for us beginning in 2010. After adoption, transfers of undivided interests in accounts receivable to investors under our sale of receivables program will no longer qualify for sale treatment, but rather will be accounted for as secured borrowings in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. We are still evaluating the impact on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows related to the adoption of this standard. The value of the outstanding undivided interest held by investors under our sale of receivables program at December 31, 2009 was $400 million.<br /><br />In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (FAS 167). FAS 167 retains the scope of Interpretation 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, with the addition of entities previously considered qualifying special-purpose entities, as the concept of these entities was eliminated in FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. FAS 167 will be effective for us beginning in 2010. The adoption of FAS 167 will not affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.<br />  <br />In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FAS 168). The Codification became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of FAS 168, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became nonauthoritative. FAS 168 was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 168 did not affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.<br /><br />In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165) (codified as FASB ASC 855-10-50). FAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. FAS 165 was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.<br /><br />In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (codified as FASB ASC 820-10-50).  This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, to require disclosures about fair values of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements.  The FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28 to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  This FSP was effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP did not affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.<br /><br />In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosure about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (codified as FASB ASC 715-20-50), which amended Statement 132(R) to require more detailed disclosures about employers' pension plan assets. New disclosures include more information on investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. This new standard required new disclosures only, and had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These new disclosures are included in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.<br /></p></div>
