PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS AND ITEM 2. PROPERTIES CORPORATE STRUCTURE Union Pacific Corporation (UPC or the Corporation) was incorporated in Utah in 1969. The Corporation operates primarily in the areas of rail transportation, through its subsidiary Union Pacific Railroad Company (the Railroad): and trucking, through its subsidiary Overnite Transportation Company. In 2000, the Corporation continued to focus on its core rail transportation business by investing approximately $1.7 billion in capital-related assets at the Railroad. The capital assets are used to sustain current operations and introduce innovative rail services across every commodity line. The Corporation's rail investments in the last five years included the 1996 acquisition of Southern Pacific Rail Corporation (Southern Pacific), and the 1997 and 1999 investments in the Pacific-North and Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico. The details of the Corporation's key strategic transactions in recent years are as follows: FENIX - During 2000, the Corporation announced the formation of a new subsidiary, Fenix, to develop and expand the Corporation's technology and telecommunication assets beyond the Corporation's core transportation businesses. MEXICAN RAILWAY CONCESSION - During 1997, the Railroad and a consortium of partners were granted a 50-year concession to operate the Pacific-North and Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico and a 25% stake in the Mexico City Terminal Company at a price of $525 million. The consortium assumed operational control of both lines in 1998. In March 1999, the Railroad purchased an additional 13% ownership interest for $87 million from one of its partners. The Railroad currently holds a 26% ownership share in the consortium. This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. OVERNITE - In May 1998, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved a formal plan to divest of UPC's investment in Overnite through an initial public offering. However, market conditions deteriorated to the point that UPC did not consummate the offering (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report). SKYWAY - In November 1998, the Corporation completed the sale of Skyway Freight Systems, Inc. (Skyway), a wholly owned subsidiary. Skyway provided contract logistics and supply chain management services. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding debt. The sale of Skyway generated a net after-tax loss of $50 million (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report). SOUTHERN PACIFIC - During 2000, UPC continued its integration of Southern Pacific's rail operations. This process is expected to be completed in 2001 (see notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report). UPC consummated the acquisition of Southern Pacific in September 1996 for $4.1 billion. Sixty percent of the outstanding Southern Pacific common shares were converted into UPC common stock and the remaining 40% of the outstanding shares were acquired for cash. UPC initially funded the cash portion of the acquisition with credit facility borrowings, all of which have been subsequently refinanced with other borrowings. The acquisition of Southern Pacific has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. -2- 3 OPERATIONS Union Pacific Corporation consists of one reportable segment, rail transportation, and UPC's other product lines (Other Operations). The rail segment includes the operations of the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) and UPRR's subsidiaries and rail affiliates (collectively, the Railroad). Other Operations include the trucking product line (Overnite Transportation Company or Overnite), as well as the "other" product lines that include the corporate holding company (which largely supports the Railroad), Fenix LLC and affiliated technology companies (Fenix), self-insurance activities, and all appropriate consolidating entries. RAIL OPERATIONS - The Railroad is a Class I railroad that operates in the United States. It has over 34,000 route miles linking Pacific Coast and Gulf Coast ports to the Midwest and eastern United States gateways and providing several north/south corridors to key Mexican gateways. The Railroad serves the western two-thirds of the country and maintains coordinated schedules with other carriers for the handling of freight to and from the Atlantic Coast, the Pacific Coast, the Southeast, the Southwest, Canada and Mexico. Export and import traffic is moved through Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast ports and across the Mexican and (primarily through interline connections) Canadian borders. The Railroad is subject to price and service competition from other railroads, motor carriers and barge operators. The Corporation expects to complete the integration of the operations of SP in 2001. EMPLOYEES - Approximately 87% of the Railroad's nearly 50,000 employees are represented by rail unions. Under the conditions imposed by the Surface Transportation Board (STB) in connection with the Southern Pacific acquisition, labor agreements between the Railroad and the unions had to be negotiated before the UPRR and Southern Pacific rail systems could be fully integrated. The Railroad has successfully reached agreements with the shopcraft, carmen, clerical, and maintenance-of-way unions, and also implemented "hub-and-spoke" agreements with the train operating crafts. Under the hub-and-spoke concept, all operating employees in a central "hub" are placed under a common set of collective bargaining agreements with the ability to work on the "spokes" running into and out of the hub. Negotiations under the Railway Labor Act to revise the national labor agreements for all crafts began in late 1999 and are still in progress. A separate Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, will be filed by UPRR and will contain additional information concerning that company. OTHER OPERATIONS TRUCKING PRODUCT LINE OPERATIONS - Overnite Transportation Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, is a major interstate trucking company specializing in less-than-truckload shipments. Overnite serves all 50 states and portions of Canada and Mexico through 167 service centers located throughout the United States. Overnite transports a variety of products including machinery, tobacco, textiles, plastics, electronics and paper products. Overnite experiences intense service and price competition from both regional and national motor carriers. EMPLOYEES - Overnite continues to oppose the efforts of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters) to unionize Overnite service centers. Since the Teamsters began their efforts at Overnite in 1994, Overnite has received 90 petitions for union elections at 67 of its 166 service centers, although there have been only nine elections since August 1997, and Teamsters representation was rejected in seven of those nine elections. Twenty-two service centers, representing approximately 14% of Overnite's 13,000 nationwide employee work force, have voted for union representation, and the Teamsters have been certified and recognized as the bargaining representative for such -3- 4 employees. Fifteen of these 22 locations filed decertification petitions in 1999 and 2000. Elections affecting approximately 400 additional employees are unresolved, and there are no elections currently scheduled. Additionally, proceedings are pending in certain cases where a Teamsters' local union lost a representation election. To date, Overnite has not entered into any collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters, who began a job action on October 24, 1999 that has continued into 2001. As of January 31, 2001, 30 Overnite service centers had approximately 495 employees, less than 5% of Overnite's work force, who did not report to work. Despite the work stoppage, Overnite has managed to improve its service, revenue and profitability on a year-over-year basis. OPERATIONAL INITIATIVES - During 2000, 1999 and 1998, Overnite benefited from several initiatives aimed at better matching its operations to the trucking industry environment. These actions included work force reductions, service center consolidations, centralization of the linehaul management process and pricing initiatives targeting Overnite's lowest margin customers. Overnite has also benefited from growth in its customer base generated by continuing improvements in its service levels. OTHER PRODUCT LINES OTHER - Included in the "other" product lines are the results of the corporate holding company, Fenix, self-insurance activities, and all appropriate consolidating entries. OTHER INFORMATION Additional information regarding UPC's operations is presented on pages 6 through 17 of the Annual Report, note 1 to the consolidated financial statements on pages 38 through 41of the Annual Report and on pages 52, 53 and 54 of the Annual Report, and such information (excluding photographs on pages 6 through 17, none of which supplements the text and which are not otherwise required to be disclosed herein) is incorporated herein by reference. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION - UPC's operations are currently subject to a variety of federal, state and local regulations. The most significant areas of regulation are described below. See also the discussion of certain regulatory proceedings in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings," which is incorporated herein by reference. The operations of the Railroad and Overnite are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the STB and other federal and state agencies. The STB has jurisdiction over rates charged on certain regulated rail traffic; freight car compensation; transfer, extension or abandonment of rail lines; and acquisition of control of rail and motor carriers by rail common carriers. In March 2000, the STB imposed a 15-month moratorium on railroad merger applications between Class I railroads. The moratorium directs large railroads to avoid merger activities for 15 months until the STB adopts new rules governing merger proceedings. The rulemaking proceeding is scheduled to be completed by June 11, 2001. Other federal agencies have jurisdiction over safety, movement of hazardous materials, movement and disposal of hazardous waste and equipment standards. Various state and local agencies have jurisdiction over disposal of hazardous wastes and seek to regulate movement of hazardous materials. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION - UPC and its subsidiaries are subject to various environmental statutes and regulations, including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), and the Clean Air Act (CAA). RCRA applies to hazardous waste generators and transporters, as well as to persons engaged in treatment and disposal of hazardous waste, and specifies standards for storage areas, treatment units and land disposal units. All generators of hazardous waste are required to label shipments in accordance with detailed regulations and to prepare a -4- 5 detailed manifest identifying the material and stating its destination before waste can be released for offsite transport. The transporter must deliver the hazardous waste in accordance with the manifest and only to a treatment, storage or disposal facility qualified for RCRA interim status or having a final RCRA permit. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations under RCRA have established a comprehensive system for the management of hazardous waste. These regulations identify a wide range of industrial by-products and residues as hazardous waste, and specify requirements for "cradle-to-grave" management of such waste from the time of generation through the time of disposal and beyond. States that have adopted hazardous waste management programs with standards at least as stringent as those promulgated by the EPA may be authorized by the EPA to administer all or part of RCRA on behalf of the EPA. CERCLA was designed to establish a strategy for cleaning up facilities at which hazardous waste or other hazardous substances have created actual or potential environmental hazards. The EPA has designated certain facilities as requiring cleanup or further assessment. Among other things, CERCLA authorizes the federal government either to clean up such facilities itself or to order persons responsible for the situation to do so. The act created a multi-billion dollar fund to be used by the federal government to pay for such cleanup efforts. In the event the federal government pays for such cleanup, it will seek reimbursement from private parties upon which CERCLA imposes liability. CERCLA imposes strict liability on the owners and operators of facilities in which hazardous waste and other hazardous substances are deposited or from which they are released or are likely to be released into the environment. It also imposes strict liability on the generators of such waste and the transporters of the waste who select the disposal or treatment sites. Liability may include cleanup costs incurred by third persons and damage to publicly owned natural resources. The Company is subject to potential liability under CERCLA as an owner or operator of facilities at which hazardous substances have been disposed of, or as a generator or a transporter of hazardous substances disposed of at other locations. Some states have enacted, and other states are considering enacting, legislation similar to CERCLA. Certain provisions of these acts are more stringent than CERCLA. States that have passed such legislation are currently active in designating more facilities as requiring cleanup and further assessment. The operations of the Corporation are subject to the requirements of the CAA. The 1990 amendments to the CAA include a provision under Title V requiring that certain facilities obtain operating permits. EPA regulations require all states to develop federally-approvable permit programs. Affected facilities must submit air operating permit applications to the respective states within one year of the EPA's approval of the state programs. Certain of the Corporation's facilities may be required to obtain such permits. In addition, in December 1997 the EPA issued final regulations which require that certain purchased and remanufactured locomotives meet stringent emissions criteria. While the cost of meeting these requirements may be significant, expenditures are not expected to affect materially the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations. The operations of the Corporation are also subject to other laws protecting the environment, including permit requirements for wastewater discharges pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and storm-water runoff regulations under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated attendant remediation costs is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Matters - Environmental Costs on pages 28 and 29 of the Annual Report. Such information is incorporated herein by reference. -5- 6 CAUTIONARY INFORMATION Certain statements in this report are, and statements in other material filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Corporation) are, or will be, forward-looking within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS SOUTHERN PACIFIC ACQUISITION On August 12, 1996, the STB served a decision (the Decision) approving the acquisition of control of Southern Pacific by UPC, subject to various conditions. The acquisition was consummated on September 11, 1996. Various appeals were filed with respect to the Decision, and all such appeals were ultimately consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and all of the appeals have since been withdrawn or denied. Among the conditions to the STB's approval of the Southern Pacific acquisition was the requirement that the STB retain oversight jurisdiction for five years to examine whether the conditions imposed under the Decision remain effective to address the competitive harms caused by the merger. On December 15, 2000, the STB served a decision in the fourth annual general oversight proceeding to review the implementation of the merger and the effectiveness of the conditions imposed under the Decision. The Board concluded that merger implementation continued to be positive, the conditions ensured effective competition and no new conditions were warranted. The STB established July 2, 2001 as the date for -6- 7 the fifth comprehensive summary to be filed by the Railroad. The STB order also requires interested parties to file comments concerning the fifth annual oversight proceeding on August 17, 2001, with replies being due September 4, 2001. SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION As previously reported, UPC and certain of its directors and officers (who are also directors of the Railroad) were named as defendants in two purported class actions filed in 1997 that have been consolidated into one proceeding in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the Class Action). In addition to the Class Action, a purported derivative action was filed on behalf of UPC and the Railroad in September 1998 in the District Court for Tarrant County, Texas, naming as defendants the then-current and certain former directors of UPC and the Railroad and, as nominal defendants, UPC and the Railroad (the Derivative Action and together with the Class Action, the Actions). Prior to any rulings on the defendants' motions to dismiss the Class Action and the Derivative Action, counsel for UPC, the Railroad and the individual defendants in those Actions entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the MOU), dated June 28, 2000, with counsel for the plaintiffs in the Class Action and Derivative Action, providing for the settlement of both Actions. The MOU provided, among other things, that the Class Action would be settled for $34,025,000 in cash (the Settlement Payment), the full amount of which has been covered by UPC's insurance carriers. The MOU also provided that, in settlement of the Derivative Action, UPC would adopt certain additional procedures which are intended to reinforce its continuing effort to ensure both the effective implementation of its merger with Southern Pacific and its ongoing commitment to rail safety. In addition, in the event of any proposed merger or other transaction involving consolidation of UPC and a rail system of greater than 1,000 miles in length of road, UPC agreed to commission a study, to be completed in advance of any formal application to a U.S., Canadian or Mexican federal regulatory board, to analyze prospective safety and congestion-related issues. On October 12, 2000, counsel for the respective parties in the Class Action and the Derivative Action entered into definitive Stipulations of Compromise and Settlement (the Stipulations), providing for the settlement of the Actions on the terms described above, subject to court approval. At separate hearings on December 13, 2000, the court in the Class Action and the court in the Derivative Action approved the proposed settlement of the respective Actions as fair, adequate and reasonable and dismissed the respective Actions with prejudice in favor of the defendants. In its order, the court in the Class Action also granted in part plaintiffs' counsels' application for attorneys' fees and expenses, to be paid from the Settlement Payment. In its order, the court in the Derivative Action also granted plaintiff's counsels' application for attorneys fees and expenses in the amount of $975,000, which amount has been paid by the Corporation but has been fully covered by UPC's insurance carriers. UPC, the Railroad and the individual defendants named in the Actions entered into the MOU and Stipulations solely for the purpose of avoiding the further expense, inconvenience, burden and uncertainty of the Actions, and their decision to do so does not constitute, and under the terms of the Stipulations may not be taken as, an admission or concession or evidence of any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever on the part of any party to either Action, which liability and wrongdoing have consistently been, and continue to be, denied. SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD MATTERS As previously reported, in May 2000 the STB dismissed a complaint filed by the Western Coal Traffic League (WCTL) alleging that the Railroad improperly accounted for certain costs associated with the acquisition of Southern Pacific and service difficulties in its 1997 annual report filed with the STB. On June 1, 2000, the WCTL petitioned the STB for a rehearing. On November 30, 2000, the STB rejected WCTL's petition for reconsideration and affirmed its earlier decision issued in May of 2000 that the Railroad properly accounted for the service difficulties experienced in 1997. -7- 8 Also as previously reported, in May 2000 the STB served a decision in a complaint filed by FMC challenging the Railroad's tariff rates on 16 different movements. The decision found rates on 15 of the movements were excessive. On June 1, 2000, the Railroad petitioned the STB for reconsideration, alleging that multiple errors caused the decision to understate costs and therefore prescribe rates where not jurisdictionally permitted or prescribe lower rates than warranted. The Railroad and FMC each also filed a petition for review of the STB decision in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Although both FMC and the Railroad originally challenged the STB decision, both parties agreed that neither party would pursue future appeals or regulatory action as part of a wider commercial understanding reached on December 8, 2000. When the Railroad notified the STB that it was withdrawing its motion for reconsideration, the STB dismissed the motion and discontinued the proceeding in a decision served December 13, 2000. The parties agreed upon an amount to be paid in final reparations and interest and the Railroad paid the final installment on December 15, 2000. OTHER MATTERS Western Resources v. Union Pacific Railroad Company and The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company. Western Resources (Western) filed its original complaint on January 24, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. Western alleged the railroads materially breached their service obligations under the transportation contract to deliver coal in a timely manner to Western's Jeffrey Energy Center. The original complaint sought recovery of consequential damages and termination of the contract, excusing Western from further performance. In an amended complaint filed September 1, 2000, Western claimed the right to retroactive termination and added a claim for restitution. In its December 1, 2000 supplemental disclosure of damages, Western continued to assert both its damages and restitution claims. The railroads are vigorously defending this lawsuit and discovery is underway. The railroads have filed two motions seeking dismissal of the termination and restitution claims. Western has responded, and the railroads have replied. The trial is currently scheduled to begin in May 2002. LABOR MATTERS The General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is seeking a bargaining order remedy in 11 cases involving Overnite where a Teamsters local union lost a representation election. A bargaining order remedy would require Overnite to recognize and bargain with the union as if the union had won instead of lost the election and would be warranted only if the following findings are made: (1) the petitioning Teamsters local had obtained valid authorization cards from a majority of the employees in an appropriate unit; (2) Overnite committed serious unfair labor practices; and (3) those unfair labor practices would preclude the holding of a fair election despite the application of less drastic remedies. In these eleven cases an administrative law judge has ruled that the bargaining order remedy is warranted. Overnite appealed those rulings to the NLRB. The NLRB has upheld the decision of the administrative law judge in four cases, and Overnite has appealed the NLRB's ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. On February 16, 2001 a two-one majority of a Fourth Circuit panel enforced the NLRB bargaining orders. Overnite will petition for rehearing by the entire Circuit bench. With respect to the other seven bargaining order cases, Overnite's appeal is pending before the NLRB. In a twelfth case, the administrative law judge found that a bargaining order remedy was not warranted. Under NLRB case law, a bargaining order remedy would attach retrospectively to the date when, after a union with a showing of majority support demanded recognition, Overnite embarked on an unlawful course of conduct. In the event of such a retroactive effective bargaining order, Overnite would face back pay liability for losses in employee earnings due to unilateral changes in terms or conditions of employment, such as layoffs, reduced hours of work or less remunerative work assignments. Overnite believes it has substantial defenses in the bargaining order cases and intends to continue to defend them aggressively. -8- 9 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS In March 1998, the Railroad received notice that the Railroad and Clean Harbors, a waste disposal firm, were the subjects of a criminal investigation by the EPA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tank cars containing hazardous waste billed to Clean Harbors' transload facility in Sterling, Colorado were held in the Railroad's Sterling, Colorado rail yard for periods longer than ten days prior to placement in Clean Harbors' facility, allegedly in violation of hazardous waste regulations. The Railroad is cooperating with the investigation and has responded to grand jury subpoenas. A finding of violation could result in significant criminal or civil penalties. The Corporation and its affiliates have received notices from the EPA and state environmental agencies alleging that they are or may be liable under certain federal or state environmental laws for remediation costs at various sites throughout the United States, including sites which are on the Superfund National Priorities List or state superfund lists. Although specific claims have been made by the EPA and state regulators with respect to some of these sites, the ultimate impact of these proceedings and suits by third parties cannot be predicted at this time because of the number of potentially responsible parties involved, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and/or the speculative nature of remediation costs. Nevertheless, at many of the superfund sites, the Corporation believes it will have little or no exposure because no liability should be imposed under applicable law, one or more other financially able parties generated all or most of the contamination, or a settlement of the Corporation's exposure has been reached although regulatory proceedings at the sites involved have not been formally terminated. Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated attendant remediation costs is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Matters - Environmental Costs on pages 28 and 29 of the Annual Report. Such information is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 4.
