Union Pacific will improve Minnesota's transportation infrastructure with more than $11 million in investment to enhance the rail line that runs from Minneapolis to Ottawa, Minn. The more than 66-mile project includes removing and installing nearly 82,000 ties, renewing the surfaces at 64 road crossings and replacing more than one mile of rail in various curves. Crews will also spread 42,600 tons of ballast to ensure a stable roadbed.

Improvement projects such as this are examples of Union Pacific continuing efforts to support its customers' business through strategic investments.
