Flooding Update for Southern Plains
Announcement Number: CN2016-15
Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: June 15, 2016
To Our Customers,
The heavy rains received in late May and June in Texas caused many subdivisions to experience outages. One outage from that weather system remains; a bridge over the Brazos River on the Glidden subdivision experienced extensive damage. This route, between Houston and San Antonio, is under repair and is expected to be out of service for up to two more weeks. Traffic that would normally traverse this bridge is being re-routed, and customers should expect delays of up to 24 hours.
The Ennis subdivision, which is in the southeast part of the Dallas-Ft. Worth metro area, was taken out of service on Monday and re-opened this morning. We expect to work through the backlog of traffic within the next 48 hours. Customers with traffic in the area should anticipate short-term delays.
More rain is forecast through parts of the Southern Plains over the next 48 hours. We will continue to monitor weather conditions and have resources staged to allow a quick response to any weather-related outages.
We appreciate your business. Please contact the National Customer Service Center or your Union Pacific representative with any questions.
