Announcement Number: CN2015-43
Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: June 16, 2015
To Our Customers,
Tropical Storm Bill is expected to make landfall along the central Texas coast this morning and move north into central Texas later today. Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to cause local flooding, downed trees and power outages in east Texas. There is also potential for flooding in Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas as the storm moves toward the Ohio Valley over the next several days. (See map for projected impact area.)
To mitigate service impact, Union Pacific has activated its hurricane response plan, which includes strategically staging resources such as ballast, pumps, locomotives, generators and work crews throughout the affected region. We will update customers as more details become available.
Please contact the National Customer Service Center or your Union Pacific representative with any questions.
