reclassified its business mix into the following four commodity groups: Agricultural Products, Energy, Industrial and Premium.

of pension costs. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 beginning in 2018 using retroactive adoption. The adoption resulted in a $30 million decrease
in other income and a corresponding $30 million increase in operating income in 2015, a $29 million increase in other income and a corresponding
$29 million decrease in operating income in 2016 and a $45 million decrease in other income and a corresponding $45 million increase in operating

Recent Developments
At the Company's May 31, 2018 Investor Day, the Company announced an anticipated change to its capital structure, which would entail the
incurrence of additional indebtedness during 2018, 2019 and 2020 up to a maximum adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.7x, subject to economic
conditions and operational performance. The Company also announced that it plans to repurchase approximately $20 billion of its shares during that time,
and is targeting a dividend payout ratio of 40% to 45%. The Company also stated that it is committed to maintaining strong investment grade credit ratings
at or above Baa1 by Moody's and BBB+ by S&P Global Ratings.

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes involves a number of risks, including those described below and those incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement. You should carefully consider these risk factors and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus before you decide to purchase any notes.
Risks Relating to the Notes
The indenture does not restrict the amount of additional indebtedness that we may incur.
The indenture governing the notes does not place any limitation on the amount of unsecured indebtedness that we may incur. Our incurrence of
additional indebtedness may have important consequences for you as a holder of the notes, including making it more difficult for us to satisfy our
obligations with respect to the notes, reducing the market price of the notes and causing a risk that the credit rating of the notes will be lowered or
withdrawn. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the notes, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with the
holders of the notes and our existing unsecured debt in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution
or other winding up of our business.
There are limited covenants and protections in the indenture.
While the indenture and the notes contain terms intended to provide protection to holders upon the occurrence of certain events involving significant
corporate transactions, these terms are limited and may not be sufficient to protect your investment in the notes. For example, there are no financial
covenants in the indenture or any limitation to the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. In addition, the provisions in the indenture and the notes may
not protect you from certain important corporate events, such as a leveraged recapitalization (which would increase the level of our indebtedness),
reorganization, restructuring or another similar transaction.
We may be unable to generate the cash flow to service our debt obligations, including the notes.
We cannot assure you that our future cash flow will be sufficient to allow us to meet our payment obligations on our debt, including the notes. Our
ability to generate cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our debt, including the notes, will depend on our future financial and
operating performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors. We cannot control many of these factors, such as
general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. railroad industry, regulatory developments, downturns in the economy in general or the initiatives of
our competitors. Our ability to generate cash flow to meet our payment obligations under our debt, including the notes, may also depend on our successful
implementation of our operating and growth strategies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to implement our strategies or that the anticipated results
of our strategies will be realized. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our obligations under our debt, including the notes, we may have to
seek additional capital or undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, or selling assets. Any of these actions could
result in unanticipated costs, disrupt the implementation of our business or otherwise hinder our performance. Moreover, we may not be able to take any of
these actions on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow or to raise additional capital in order to satisfy our
obligations under our debt, including the notes, or to refinance them on commercially reasonable terms, would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The notes will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to our future secured debt.
Holders of any secured indebtedness that we may incur will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the notes to the extent of the value
of the assets securing the secured indebtedness. The notes will be

S-5
Table of Contents
effectively subordinated to all of our future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral. In the event of any distribution or payment of
our assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured indebtedness will
have prior claims to those of our assets that constitute their collateral. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/100885/000119312518186978/d600122d424b5.htm[6/8/2018 10:47:55 AM]

424B5
indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts
owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay
amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness.
The notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries, and the claims of
creditors of our subsidiaries, including trade creditors, will have priority as to the assets and cash flows of our subsidiaries. In the event of a bankruptcy,
liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding of any of our subsidiaries, holders of their liabilities, including their trade creditors, will
generally be entitled to payment on their claims from assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. None of our
subsidiaries will guarantee the notes at the time of issuance.
We may not have sufficient funds, or the ability to raise sufficient funds, to satisfy our obligation to offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of
control triggering event.
Upon a change of control triggering event, as that term is defined in ``Description of Notes--Change of Control Repurchase Event" of this prospectus
supplement, we will be required to make an offer in cash to repurchase all or any part of each holder's notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The source of funds for any such repurchase would be our available
cash or cash generated from operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of equity or funds provided by a new controlling person or entity. We
cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available at the time of any change of control triggering event to repurchase all tendered notes pursuant to
this requirement. Our failure to offer to repurchase notes, or to repurchase notes tendered, following a change of control triggering event will result in a
default under the indenture governing the notes.
Our credit ratings may not reflect the risks of investing in the notes.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our
credit ratings may affect the market price of the notes. These credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of risks relating to structure or marketing of
the notes. Agency ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing
organization. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating. We do not, and the underwriters do not, undertake any
obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of the notes of any change in ratings.
There is no established trading market for the notes, and an active trading market may not develop for the notes.
The notes are new issues of securities for which there currently are no established trading markets. We do not intend to list the notes on any securities
exchange. While the underwriters of the notes have advised us that they intend to make markets in the notes, the underwriters will not be obligated to do so
and may stop their market making at any time. No assurance can be given:

· as to the development or continuation of any market for the notes;

· as to the liquidity of any market that does develop; or

· as to your ability to sell the notes or the price at which you may be able to sell the notes.
The absence of active public trading markets could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and value of the notes.

mature on July 15, 2025. The 2028 notes are initially being offered in the principal amount of $1,500,000,000, will bear interest at 3.950% per annum, and
will mature on September 10, 2028. The 2038 notes are initially being offered in the principal amount of $750,000,000, will bear interest at 4.375% per
annum, and will mature on September 10, 2038. The 2048 notes are initially being offered in the principal amount of $1,500,000,000, will bear interest at
4.500% per annum, and will mature on September 10, 2048. The 2058 notes are initially being offered in the principal amount of $500,000,000, will bear
interest at 4.800% per annum, and will mature on September 10, 2058. Interest on the 2021 notes and the 2023 notes will be payable semi-annually on June
8 and December 8 of each year, commencing on December 8, 2018, to the persons in whose name the note is registered, subject to certain exceptions as
provided in the indenture, at the close of business on May 25 and November 25, as the case may be (whether or not a Business Day), immediately
preceding such June 8 and December 8. Interest on the 2025 notes will be payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on
January 15, 2019, to the persons in whose name the note is registered, subject to certain exceptions as provided in the indenture, at the close of business on
January 1 and July 1, as the case may be (whether or not a Business Day), immediately preceding such January 15 and July 15. Interest on the 2028 notes,
2038 notes, 2048 notes and 2058 notes will be payable semi-annually on March 10 and September 10 of each year, commencing on March 10, 2019, to the
persons in whose name the note is registered, subject to certain exceptions as provided in the indenture, at the close of business on August 25 and
February 25, as the case may be (whether or not a Business Day), immediately preceding such March 10 and September 10. We may, without the consent
of the holders, increase the principal amount of the notes of any or all series in the future, on the same respective terms and conditions (except for the price
to public, issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date), and with the same respective CUSIP number, as the notes of the related series
being offered hereby. We will not issue any such additional notes unless the further notes trade interchangeably with the notes of the related series being
offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Interest on the notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The notes will be issued under an indenture dated as of April 1, 1999, between The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to The
Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly The Chase Manhattan
Bank), as Trustee, and us.
The notes are senior, unsecured securities and will rank on a parity with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. As a holding
company, we have no material assets other than our ownership of the common stock of our subsidiaries. We will rely primarily upon distributions and
other amounts received from our subsidiaries to meet the payment obligations under the notes. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and
have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the notes or otherwise to make any funds available to us. This includes the payment
of dividends or other distributions or the extension of loans or advances. Further, the ability of our subsidiaries to make any payments to us would be
dependent upon the terms of any credit facilities or other debt instruments of the subsidiaries and upon the subsidiaries' earnings, which are subject to
various business and other risks. In a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, claims of holders of the notes would be satisfied solely from our equity
interests in our subsidiaries remaining after the satisfaction of claims of creditors of the subsidiaries. Accordingly, the notes will be effectively subordinated
to existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries to their respective creditors.

Change of Control Repurchase Event
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/100885/000119312518186978/d600122d424b5.htm[6/8/2018 10:47:55 AM]

424B5
If a change of control repurchase event occurs with respect to a series of notes, unless we have exercised our right to redeem the notes of that series
as described above, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of those notes to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of that
holder's notes of the same series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased plus any accrued
and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following a change of control repurchase event
with respect to a series of notes or, at our option, prior to a change of control, but after the public announcement of the change of control, we will deliver a
notice to each holder of the notes of such series, with a copy to the trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the
change of control repurchase event and offering to repurchase the notes of that series on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no
earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent. The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the change of
control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a change of control repurchase event occurring as to that series of notes on or prior to the payment
date specified in the notice. We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of
the notes as a result of a change of control repurchase event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the change
of control repurchase event provisions of the notes, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached our obligations under the change of control repurchase event provisions of the notes by virtue of such conflict.
On the repurchase date following a change of control repurchase event with respect to a series of notes, we will, to the extent lawful:

(1)
accept for payment all notes or portions of notes of such series properly tendered pursuant to our offer;

(2)
deposit with the trustee an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all notes or portions of notes of such series properly

tendered; and

S-10
Table of Contents
(3)
deliver or cause to be delivered to the paying agent the notes of such series properly accepted, together with an officers' certificate stating the

aggregate principal amount of notes being purchased by us and that all conditions precedent provided for in the indenture to the repurchase
offer and to the repurchase by us of notes of such series pursuant to the repurchase offer have been complied with.
The paying agent will promptly deliver to each holder of notes properly tendered the purchase price for the notes, and the trustee will promptly
authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new note of the same series equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of any notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of an integral multiple of $1,000.
We will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes of a series upon a change of control repurchase event with respect to such series if a
third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us and such third party
purchases all notes of such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of holders, the following definitions are applicable:
"below investment grade ratings event" means, with respect to a series of notes, on any day within the 60 day period (which period shall be extended
so long as the rating of that series of notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the rating agencies) after the
earlier of (1) the occurrence of a change of control; or (2) public notice of the occurrence of a change of control or the intention by Union Pacific to effect a
change of control, that series of notes is rated below investment grade by each of the rating agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a below investment
grade ratings event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular change of
control (and thus shall not be deemed a below investment grade ratings event for purposes of the definition of change of control repurchase event
hereunder) if the rating agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or
inform the trustee in writing at our request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a
result of, or in respect of, the applicable change of control (whether or not the applicable change of control shall have occurred at the time of the ratings
event).
"change of control" means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is
that any "person" or "group" (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than Union Pacific or our subsidiaries, becomes the
beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of
our voting stock or other voting stock into which our voting stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather
than number of shares.
"change of control repurchase event" means, with respect to a series of notes, the occurrence of both a change of control and a below investment
grade ratings event.
"investment grade" means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody's (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody's); a rating of
BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any
