Official Notice from U.P.

Union Pacific Railroad Company has observed a growing trend involving professional and amateur photographers who trespass on railroad property for photo shoots.
Trespassing on railroad property is not only against the law, it is extremely dangerous. Union Pacific will prosecute those found trespassing on its property to the fullest extent allowed by law. Your apprehension on railroad property may to only result indoor arrest, but, in the event of a tragedy, you may become involved as a defendant in a civil personal injury litigation.
We urge you to reject any requests for photo shoots on railroad property. Any photo shoots on our property that come to U. P.'s attention will be subject to investigation and prosecution.
For additional information contact Union Pacific Safety Manager Kevin Barnett, kbarnett@up.com, 402-708-3434.
