Tennessee

Eastern Traffic and Commodities

Tennessee is the eastern-most state served by Union Pacific, with tracks reaching the "Volunteer State" from Arkansas across a Mississippi River Bridge. Union Pacific interchanges traffic with eastern railroads in Memphis.

Memphis is Tennessee's largest city, and one of the busiest inland ports on the Mississippi. As one of the nation's leading distribution centers, wholesale trade in cotton, lumber, processed foods, clothing and electrical machinery are especially important to the area's economy.
