Nearly a week ago, on April 15, 2026 (Tax Day), Union Pacific eliminated the role of Yardmaster here at North Yard. The five Yardmasters on the payroll were offered transfers to other locations to enter train service (conductors, engineers, etc). There is now some sort of Yard Manager, different from an actual Yardmaster, in control of the yard. Reports from folks I know that work for Union Pacific are indicating that North Yard is a complete mess at the moment. Indeed, the yard does look must fuller than it has in quite awhile.
Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster.
