OMAHA, Neb. — Union Pacific Corp. Chairman and CEO Jim Young’s compensation fell less than 5 percent last year because the railroad’s board felt he kept the company on track in a difficult economy that led to a 19 percent decline in earnings.

An Associated Press analysis of a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday shows Young received 2009 compensation worth $11.2 million, down from $11.8 million the year before mainly due to a smaller bonus.

UP’s board gave Young a $2.5 million bonus, saying the railroad improved efficiency and generated $1.9 billion in net income. His 2008 bonus was $3 million.

Besides the bonus, the rest of Young’s compensation remained largely unchanged in 2009, including stock options and restricted stock worth $7.5 million.

OMAHA, Neb. — Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP) today reported 2009 third quarter net income of $517 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared to $703 million, or $1.38 per diluted share in the third quarter 2008.

Third Quarter 2009 Highlights

* Operating income totaled $967 million, down 20 percent.

* Ongoing productivity initiatives, pricing gains and lower diesel fuel prices contributed to a record third quarter operating ratio of 73.7 percent.
* Customer Satisfaction Index of 88 is an all-time best, up 5 points.

"Union Pacific's third quarter results were clearly affected by the global recession and related decline in our rail traffic," said Jim Young, Union Pacific chairman and chief executive officer. "In the face of that challenge, the Union Pacific team achieved a record third quarter operating ratio, as well as record customer satisfaction levels, by concentrating on our business fundamentals of safety, service, value and productivity."
