U.S. exporters are well aware of the growing infrastructure problems in the United States, including maintenance backlog, the need for modernization, railcar shortages and weather induced delays. Long the envy of the world, U.S. export infrastructure is showing the signs of age.

\u201cThe Union Pacific Railroad has been connecting the 1,700 miles between Sacramento and Omaha for years,\u201d said USGC Chairman Julius Schaaf. \u201cWhen they built the railway, they called it the work of giants. With the railway being such a vital part of agriculture, more work of giants needs to be completed. I\u2019m excited to hear Union Pacific\u2019s plans for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Union Pacific Railroad operates North America\u2019s premier railroad franchise that covers 23 states in the western two-thirds of the United States. With 150 years of tradition, the railroad is eager to continue into the future and beyond.<\/p>\n
