Union Pacific sells surplus property through an established process. Interested buyers must complete a property sale application and submit it via email to the appropriate real estate manager.
The application should include:
A description of the site and its intended use
A map or diagram identifying the property
Applicant’s name, address and phone number
An offer price at fair market value or a minimum of $50,000
For buyers represented by a real estate agent, please provide their name, address and phone number. Union Pacific does not typically cover real estate commissions or closing costs and may require a property survey at the buyer’s expense.
Purchasing railroad property requires formal review and approval, which may take several months or longer. If the property is currently leased, additional pricing factors may apply. For faster access or use, consider property leasing options.
If the property is deemed surplus, a letter of understanding detailing the terms and conditions of the sale will be provided for review.
Once completed, submit your application to the appropriate manager listed below.
