Union Pacific Corp

America's largest railroad by route mileage, Union Pacific hauls freight across 23 western states, moving grain, coal, chemicals, cars, and intermodal containers between West and Gulf Coast ports and Midwest and Eastern gateways. Founded in 1862 by the Pacific Railway Act signed by Abraham Lincoln, it built the eastern half of the first transcontinental railroad, meeting the Central Pacific in Utah, where the famous golden spike was driven in 1869. Its name reflects its mission: linking the Union with the Pacific.
