Union Pacific published a perspective arguing that freight and passenger rail can grow together rather than compete, again tied to its proposed combination with Norfolk Southern. Union Pacific lists 80 open roles on the board. As with the company's related posts this week, the outcome of the pending merger review will matter more to hiring trajectory than this messaging does.
