Summary
On May 28, 2026, the Board accepted for consideration (1) the revised, primary application (the Revised Application) filed by Union Pacific Corporation (UPC), Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) (collectively, Union Pacific), Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC), and Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS) (collectively, Norfolk Southern) (Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern collectively, Applicants) as well as (2) a related application in Union Pacific Corp.--Control--Peoria & Pekin Union Railway, Docket No. FD 36873 (Sub-No. 1). However, the Board held both proceedings in abeyance pending further Board order and the submission of certain additional information. Applicants filed additional information in two supplements submitted in July. In this decision, the Board removes the proceedings from abeyance, adopts a procedural schedule, directs Applicants to resubmit certain workpapers with unfiltered data, rules on a pending procedural request, and advises that the Board will address other outstanding motions at a future date.
