As we get ready to celebrate #America250 with Big Boy #UP4014, we’re also marking an important milestone in our own story. On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act – creating Union Pacific and setting a bold vision to unite the nation by rail. That vision helped transform America, driving economic growth, connecting communities and shaping the country’s future. More than 160 years later, that legacy still drives us – Union Pacific and norfolksouthern are working together to build a seamless transcontinental railroad that will keep our country moving. Here’s to the next 164 years of Building America!
