Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, filed with the SEC on October 22, 2015.
A copy of UPRR's letter to its customers, along with additional information, is available on the Company's website at http://www.up.com/customers/announcements/customernews/weeklyserviceupdates/CN2015-69.html.
