Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.



On March 8, 2017, at the 2017 Raymond James 38th Annual Institutional Investors Conference, Robert M. Knight, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Union Pacific Corporation (the Company), indicated that the Company expects the recent weather challenges on the western part of its network to reduce earnings in the first quarter of 2017 by approximately three to four cents per share through a combination of lost revenue and increased operating expense.  The Company also expects to incur approximately $30 million of weather related capital expenditures.  This is not expected to change the Company’s full year 2017 capital plan of approximately $3.1 billion.



This Form 8-K disclosure contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Important factors, including risk factors, regarding forward-looking information and these risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
