To Our Customers,
Union Pacific plans to have modified operations for Independence Day. This includes operations on Monday, July 4, 2016, through Tuesday, July 5, 2016.
Between 7 a.m. on Monday, July 4 and 6:59 a.m. on Tuesday, July 5, manifest trains will be held at origin. Trains en route will operate to destination. Some yard and local operations may be curtailed based on traffic levels and customer needs. Critical customer-specific switching requests will be protected.
Interchange operations will be coordinated as required with connecting railroads at all locations.
If your facility requires service during the holiday, please open a Service Issue on our website prior to close of business on Wednesday, June 29, 2016. You may also contact Customer Service at 1-800-272-8777 to have them open a Service Issue on your behalf. Feedback will be provided regarding the availability of service over the Independence Day holiday.
This operating plan is subject to change in the event of a major service interruption or weather event. Thank you for your cooperation. On behalf of all of the employees of Union Pacific, we would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday.
