The 14 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research predicted earnings of $1.17 per share on average.
The railroad’s revenue declined 12 per cent to $4.77 billion. Five analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $4.79 billion.
Union Pacific said shipments slowed in every category except agricultural goods. Coal again led the declines with a 21 per cent drop in shipments.
The railroad cut expenses 11 per cent to $3.1 billion in the quarter in response to the slower volume. Union Pacific’s workforce is down 12 per cent from last year, and it has stored 14 per cent of its locomotives as it works to improve efficiency…
