Through the years, a series of mergers helped Union Pacific create one of the strongest franchises in North America.

The addition of Missouri Pacific more than doubled UP’s route miles, Western Pacific track led UP to the Ports of San Francisco and Oakland, Katy gave UP access to Texas through Oklahoma, Chicago & North Western brought UP to the Twin Cities, and Southern Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande Western provided the legendary Sunset Route and a direct route through Colorado.

Currently, Union Pacific serves nearly 7,300 communities.
