Security Alert Level Information

Alert Level
The rail industry is currently at Alert Level 2

Everyone at Union Pacific plays a vital role in the company's security and in safeguarding information regarding rail shipments.

In your daily interaction, be alert for any suspicious or unusual activity:

  • Be aware of people who may ask probing questions about the railroad and its operations, either in person or via telephone, e-mail and other forms.
  • Don't disclose information about UP operations unnecessarily - don't disclose train schedules, business lines or any other information to anyone who does not have a "need to know." Be polite but firm in handling inquiries from individuals who do not have a need to know.
  • Report all trespassers or suspicious people on UP property, including rail fans.
  • Report any items that are out of place, such as boxes on the right of way, or items attached to a rail car, bridge or tunnel.
  • Report vehicles on the right of way, yards or facilities whether occupied or abandoned.

Be proactive:

  • Make sure doors to files, offices and buildings are properly secured or locked when not in use.
  • Remember to log off computer systems or shut off your computer when not in use.
  • Keep passwords and codes secure - never share them.

Remember:

  • Anyone may be a potential security threat to fellow employees and railroad infrastructure.
  • Never take any action that will put you in harm's way.
  • Gather as much information as possible and report it to Response Management Communications Center (RMCC) at 1-888-877-7267 (888-UPRR-COP).
  • If you witness or experience any event that you feel is life threatening, call 911 followed by a call to RMCC.
