Union Pacific's Colorado Heritage:
Through the Rockies, not around them. That was the motto of Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, which would later become part of Union Pacific, as it took on the challenge of building a railroad in Colorado is not an easy task when the challenge was literally the size of mountains. It didn't take long for those famous words to define the determination and resolve it took to bring railroading to the Centennial State.
Union Pacific's presence in Colorado dates back to 1867, when track was laid across the northeastern tip of the state as the transcontinental railroad progressed across the country. Today, Union Pacific operates a major network of eastwest and north-south lines that carry freight to all parts of Union Pacific's 23-state system. Amtrak also provides passenger service over the Union Pacific line, connecting Denver with California.
Primary commodities handled by Union Pacific in the state include grain, automobiles and trucks, consumer and manufactured goods, and coal. Union Pacific also serves a major automobile distribution center just north of Denver, where new automobiles are delivered for sale throughout the mountain and High Plains states.
