Union Pacific is operating more efficiently, allowing us to handle record volumes and recover more rapidly from challenges such as hurricanes, the Kansas washouts and severe winter storms.
This quarter was positive for us in many ways. We experienced record growth in our business, moved these volumes more efficiently and improved our bottom-line results. Most importantly, we provided better service to our customers.
We are very pleased by both the robust demand for our rail services and our ability to move record first-quarter volumes more efficiently.
