When working within Union Pacific Railroad’s right of way, your company will be required to obtain Railroad Protective Liability Insurance for the project.
For RRPLI application requests, you may be asked by your insurance carrier to provide train movement information. Due to the circumstances of September 11, 2001, for security and safety reasons, Union Pacific Railroad employees no longer supply train information to parties outside the Railroad. The major insurance companies are aware of this situation.
Obtaining this insurance for smaller projects can be a time-consuming and costly purchase for the contractor. With the Railroad Protective Liability Program made available by Union Pacific through a national broker, your company may save both time and money. In as little time as it takes to complete a single-page application and send a check, the Railroad Protective Liability coverage is in place. We consider this program a time saver in obtaining Railroad Protective Liability insurance.
