Winter Storms Impact UP Operations Across the Midwest
Winter storms moving across the Midwest region of the country have negatively impacted Union Pacific operations in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri,and Illinois. Heavy snows, extremely cold temperatures and high winds have hampered switching in major terminals and slowed the movement of trains in these areas. Dangerous road conditions have restricted crew transportation, contributing to train delays.
High winds are expected to continue in these areas the remainder of today, with gradual clearing tomorrow. There is concentrated focus on clearing main-line routes and switches, along with terminals in the affected area. Sub-zero temperatures across the region tonight and tomorrow could further impact switching at a local level. Customers should expect 24- to 72- hour delays to shipments moving through this area.
