Union Pacific operates a freight railroad across the western two-thirds of the U.S., covering over 30,000 route miles. It hauls bulk commodities (coal, grain, fertilizers, chemicals), manufactured goods (automotive parts, industrial products), and intermodal containers for shippers ranging from farmers and energy companies to retailers and manufacturers. Revenue comes from charging per-shipment freight rates. It also holds a ~25% stake in Mexican railroad Ferromex, with cross-border Mexico traffic representing roughly 10% of revenue.
