This information is provided to help guide you through the planning and documentation process to establish rail service utilizing Union Pacific’s facilities. Union Pacific options may include:
- Lease tracks (exclusive use)
- Team tracks (non-exclusive use)
- Yard tracks (single use, special shipment)
- Storage tracks (limited availability)
If you have questions concerning these procedures or require further assistance with your project planning, please contact your Economic & Industrial Development representative.
Step 1 – Getting Started
A project officially begins when you submit an AccessUP Questionnaire. This provides Union Pacific with the information necessary to evaluate your request.
Step 2 – Location Analysis
To begin the Location Analysis phase, you will be contacted by an Economic & Industrial Development contact. Together you will evaluate the proposed project and establish an on-site meeting plan. Next, the Economic & Industrial Development contact will initiate Union Pacific’s inter-departmental review process.
Step 3 – Business Analysis
Following analysis of the proposed location, your Marketing and Sales representative will address any concerns surrounding service, rates, billing and/or equipment.
Step 4 – Final Documentation
To finalize the project you will receive a Track Agreement for execution. Once in place, your service profile will be established and shipments can begin.
