Service Outage between Sioux City and Alton, Iowa

Announcement Number: CN2018-35
Categories: General Announcements
Posted Date: September 21, 2018

To Our Customers,

Prolonged rainfall has caused washouts and water over the rail in multiple locations along the rail line between Sioux City and Alton, Iowa. As a result, service will be suspended until the water recedes and crews make the necessary repairs. Trains will be detoured around the affected area where possible.

Customers with rail shipments moving through this area can anticipate delays of 24 to 48 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience these delays may cause.

Please note that this service disruption is the result of weather conditions and is not related to any changes associated with the Unified Plan 2020.

If you have any questions, please contact Customer Care & Support at 800-272-8777 or your Union Pacific representative.
