Union Pacific plans to invest more than USD 109 million in 2015 to improve Iowa’s transportation infrastructure. The company’s private investment will enhance employee, community and customer safety and increase rail operating efficiency. Freight railroads like Union Pacific operate on track built and maintained without taxpayer funds. Union Pacific’s private investments sustain jobs and ensure the company meets growing demand for products used in the resurgent American economy.
Union Pacific’s planned investment covers a range of initiatives that include USD 105 million to maintain railroad track, USD 1.5 million to enhance signal systems and USD 2.8 million to maintain or replace bridges in the state.
“Continuing to aggressively invest in our infrastructure is an important element in Union Pacific’s unwavering safety commitment,” said Donna Kush, Union Pacific vice president – Public Affairs, Northern Region.
