Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: October 23, 2015

To Our Customers,
 
Hurricane Patricia is currently moving toward Mexico and is expected to make landfall this weekend. As it moves northeastward, it is expected to cause heavy rains across large portions of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Localized flooding could occur as far north as Missouri and Illinois. 
 
Delays to rail traffic should be anticipated throughout the weekend, especially in areas receiving heavy rainfall. Union Pacific is preparing for any possible network interruptions. We have staged supplies and resources in the region to ensure we are prepared to respond quickly to interruptions. 
 
We will continue to monitor Hurricane Patricia and provide you with additional information if necessary. Please contact the National Customer Service Center or your Union Pacific representative with any questions.
