To Our Customers,
Union Pacific is actively monitoring the Canadian railway labor negotiations and is in close contact with our Canadian interchange partners. The Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) and Canadian National (CN) have both issued embargos for certain traffic in advance of a potential lockout, and Union Pacific is adhering to their embargos. A listing of those active embargos can be found on the Association of American Railroads (AAR) Embargo Raillinc website here (enter “CN” or “CPRS” in the Issuing Road field).
Our team is working diligently to minimize any potential impact on your operations and keep our network fluid. We will continue to provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience and collaboration as we work together to keep your shipments moving. If you need assistance with your supply chain, please contact your Union Pacific sales representative.
