Donors who listed UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD on itemized federal receipts account for $6,248,507, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 20,509 contributions from 480 donors. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD is a carrier name as typed, not a NAICS rail-transportation total, not Union Pacific’s PAC, and not BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY. That Class I sibling has its own overlay.

A western Class I name on Schedule A
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD is the company as stored on individual receipts. The $6,248,507 total is those itemized gifts. It is not freight revenue, not track-miles, and not a NAICS rollup of all railroads.
People who typed UNION PACIFIC, UP, UPRR, BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY, or CONDUCTOR without the company sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.
Operating-craft staff and management can share UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD if they typed the company. The 20,509 lines do not split crafts. Occupation pages show titles beside the railroad.
480 donors and 20,509 lines
480 unique donors produced 20,509 UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD contribution lines totaling $6,248,507. That is on the order of 43 itemized receipts per donor. BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY remains a separate carrier key. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a craft split.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the railroad’s committee PAC filings are outside the $6,248,507 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
480 unique donors produced those 20,509 lines totaling $6,248,507. That is fewer people than BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY’s sibling row; this page still reports only Union Pacific’s own three facts.
BNSF as a sibling carrier string
BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY is a separate employer-name key. Combining it with UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD would mix two FEC fields. This page stays at $6,248,507 for UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside the railroad. ENGINEER as a locomotive craft and generic RAILROAD strings are other keys when donors skipped this company name. FORD MOTOR COMPANY is an auto-manufacturer key, not a rail synonym.
Donor table
The UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a merger, a derailment docket, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type the company share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file.
Repeat names are expected among 20,509 lines from 480 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the railroad string.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD grouped $6,248,507 from 480 donors and 20,509 lines. BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY has its own overlay and must not be added into this total. UNION PACIFIC without RAILROAD, UPRR, and CONDUCTOR are other keys if stored that way.
