Union Pacific Corporation announced strong performance results for its grain transport operations, emphasizing its preparedness for the upcoming harvest season. Over the past two and a half years, Union Pacific has maintained a service record of at least 290 miles traveled per day for its shuttle fleet, marking the highest efficiency in the company's history for grain shipments. In the crucial fourth quarter during each of the past two years, the shuttle fleet surpassed expectations by achieving at least 310 miles per day. The company transports approximately 1.3 billion bushels of grain annually, connecting key production areas in the Midwest and West to export terminals in the Pacific Northwest, Gulf Coast, and Mexico, as well as serving domestic processors, animal feeders, and ethanol producers. Union Pacific attributes its success to months of planning, close coordination with customers, and strategic placement of crews, locomotives, and covered hoppers to meet forecasted demand. Company officials report that Union Pacific is currently on track to maintain its high service levels again this year, delivering above and beyond customer expectations.
