8 Shale Plays New Market for Railroads 8

9 Union Pacific & The Eagle Ford Shale 9

10 Union Pacific & The Eagle Ford Shale - Continued Since 2009, more than a half dozen short-line railroads have been created and have built more than 200,000-feet of track to serve drilling companies in the Eagle Ford Shale: Gardendale Railroad (pictured above), Port San Antonio, Hondo Railway, Live Oak Railroad, Gonzalez & Northern Railway, Rail Logix, Southton Railroad, etc. Locations have centered on Union Pacific s Corpus Christi, Laredo, Cuero and Del Rio Subdivisions Union Pacific has invested more than $100 million on those subdivisions (i.e. new rail, ties, & 5 new sidings) Movements of fracing sand, pipe & other drilling materials have decreased in last 12 months Aggregate movements, including cement & limestone, remain strong 10

11 Both Passenger & Freight Solutions Required Communities want passenger rail transportation to Reduce traffic congestion Avoid/reduce road construction and maintenance Provide answer to future capacity needs Communities depend on freight rail transportation to Supply the goods they use everyday (food, vehicles, energy) Reduce dependency on foreign oil through its fuel efficiency Generate a carbon footprint that is 75% less than trucks Reduce highway congestion Make products affordable by means of cost-effective shipping Support infrastructure with private funds not taxpayer dollars 11

12 Working Together to Meet Customers Needs For Passenger and Freight UP is willing to discuss passenger rail proposals Safety must be priority Separate track/right-of-way preferable Positive Train Control systems must be present Commuter agencies must meet all UP and FRA safety standards and fund all incremental safety requirements Freight service must not be compromised Including UP s ability to expand, operate on demand, service existing customers and locate new customers Commuter growth capacity must be funded by commuter agency and freight growth capacity must be protected Commuter agencies must indemnify/protect UP against all liability Commuter agencies must pay all costs: developing proposals, return on UP assets/property, UP tax liability, etc. 12
