Some claim a transcontinental railroad will control more than half the freight market. The facts say otherwise.

Todd Rynaski, Union Pacific’s senior vice president-Strategy, explains why a combined Union Pacific- @nscorp represents less than 11% of the nation's freight transportation market, preserves competitive options for customers and creates a stronger alternative to highway shipping.

Harvest readiness takes more than capacity on paper. Customers need rail equipment deployed and prepared to move.

With a robust grain car fleet in place, including our shuttle equipment, which remained fully deployed throughout the summer, we remain flexible to support customers as peak harvest season ramps up. At BNSF, we’re focused on serving our customers through harvest and beyond.

EU–China trade talks could reshape freight flows. Restrictions on Chinese imports may hit Europe-bound ocean and air cargo, while retaliation could pressure EU exports.

Reliable rail service starts with having train crews in the right places at the right time. That’s why we plan ahead of every harvest.

We’ve put our crews in place to support our agricultural customers. We’re constantly monitoring volume expectations and reviewing staffing needs. That way, we remain flexible with available train crews when the time comes for you to ship.

Our team is focused on moving your freight, through harvest and beyond.
