📆 This month, we proudly feature No. 1943 - The Spirit Locomotive, honoring U.S. Armed Forces. As we roll into April, we pay tribute to the brave individuals who have served and continue to serve our country. Created in collaboration with Union Pacific veterans, the locomotive illustrates the railroad’s connection to the thousands of veterans who helped build America through the centuries. April’s calendar photo showcases the locomotive leading a manifest train along the Big Hole River at Maiden Rock, Montana. If you have not yet purchased your 2025 Union Pacific calendar, you can still place an order at www.UnionPacificStore.com. 📷Photo by Jacop Narup

Union Pacific is excited to announce a new business venture primed for growth in the heart of Kansas City. The railroad is leasing land and approximately four miles of track to Jaguar Transport Holdings, LLC , a leading short line railroad company. The agreement will enhance customer service and support regional economic growth by allowing Jaguar to offer five-day-a-week service to customers on an industrial lead, with Union Pacific focusing on fast, long-haul service. “Jaguar has a proven track record of providing premier customer service and we believe this operating change will be a boon to the local economy,” said Kenny Rocker, executive vice president – Marketing and Sales of Union Pacific. “Both parties have high expectations for growth under this exciting new deal.” https://lnkd.in/ggFmYPfZ

My job is to connect customers to rail. Sometimes the solution is a site that was previously operational and rail-served. Other times, it involves building your business in one of Union Pacific's large-scale development sites (we have nearly 30 such sites). Occasionally, the project is so extensive that it requires months of coordinating efforts between multiple agencies to find the ideal location with access to a port, abundant power, and most importantly, access to the Union Pacific network.   I'm proud to have played a role in connecting Hyundai Steel Corp to their first-ever U.S. steel mill in Louisiana!

Our Chief Safety Officer, Rod Doerr, was recently appointed to represent Union Pacific on the Operation Lifesaver, Inc., National Board of Directors as Co-Chairman. Rod is pictured with Buck Russel, Sr. Supervisor, Public Safety, who sits on the Operation Lifesaver National Advisory Committee. Together, they help guide public safety outreach in the communities across our 23-state network. Congratulations, Rod, and thank you, Buck, for promoting #RailSafety.

An important reminder from our friends at Operation Lifesaver, Inc. to always keep low ground clearances in mind when approaching railroad tracks.
