To Our Customers,

Union Pacific has not experienced any weather related incidents due to the landfall of Hurricane Nate. As a result, Union Pacific is taking the following action:

  • We have canceled the destination embargoes for Avondale, New Orleans and Westwego, Louisiana.
  • We will resume normal rail operations in the area later today and return the rail cars to the Avondale and Westwego rail yards that had been moved as a precaution earlier in the week.
  • We will resume interchange with the eastern carriers at the New Orleans gateway later today.

Please contact Customer Care & Support or your Union Pacific representative with any questions.
