What We Carry
Union Pacific moves the goods American families and businesses use every day. Our diversified business mix includes food we eat, cars we drive, chemicals to clean water and steel to build cities.
Our railroad serves many of the fastest growing cities in the United States and connects all major West Coast and Gulf Coast ports to Canada, Mexico and the country's eastern gateways. We have roughly 10,000 direct customers, and work to deliver products in a safe, reliable, fuel-efficient and environmentally responsible manner.
