BACK TO RAILROADING FOR A NEW ERA

After a decade of diversification into energy, Union Pacific Corp. is again looking for growth and profit from its railroad business in the wake of deregulation and soaring fuel costs for all transportation. UP has moved to merge its 9500-mile line with 11,500-mile Missouri Pacific and 1700-mile Western Pacific. The corporate planning that led to this decision and the merger's consequences on other railroads and shippers are discussed.
