Union Pacific runs a 32,452-mile freight railroad network connecting Pacific and Gulf Coast ports to the Midwest and Eastern U.S., hauling everything from grain and coal to cars and shipping containers.
Freight transportation generates the revenue, with net margins around 29% and operating margins above 40% — high-margin, recurring business from long-term industrial and agricultural contracts.
Its network of tracks, terminals, and rights-of-way is nearly impossible to replicate; competitors like BNSF Railway and Norfolk Southern would need decades and billions to build comparable routes. Moat level: solid.
