However, this does not impact our long-term relationship,” said Jim Young, Union Pacific chairman and chief executive officer. “We have already invested tens of millions of dollars in technology, infrastructure and training to promote safer and more secure rail transportation across the border, and we will continue this collaboration with CBP to help mitigate threats to our nation’s security.”
