UP RAILROAD COMPANY money in federal elections
Contributors who listed UP RAILROAD COMPANY on federal itemized receipts account for $3.6M ($3,567,994), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 27,188 contributions from 769 donors. UP RAILROAD COMPANY is an abbreviated carrier stamp as typed — UP plus RAILROAD COMPANY — not a NAICS rail-transportation total, not Union Pacific’s PAC, and not UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD as the spelled-out sibling key.
Key figures
- UP RAILROAD COMPANY as FEC employer text totals $3.6M ($3,567,994) from 769 donors.
- 27,188 contribution lines sit under that abbreviated carrier stamp.
- UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD and BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.
UP abbreviation as stored, not a Class I recode
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. UP RAILROAD COMPANY is the carrier as committees stored it, including the two-letter UP abbreviation. The $3,567,994 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 RAILROAD, UNION PACIFIC, UP RAILROAD without COMPANY, BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY, or ENGINEER without the carrier sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined Union Pacific family must recode after export. Top employer matches UP RAILROAD COMPANY.
769 donors and 27,188 lines
769 unique donors produced 27,188 UP RAILROAD COMPANY contribution lines totaling $3,567,994. That is on the order of 35 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $131 — a lower mean gift than several professional-services stamps at similar dollars, consistent with a high line count. Mean per donor is about $4,640. The packet does not publish a craft-versus-management split or a cycle year.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,567,994 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD and BNSF stay separate
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY, and ENGINEER are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with UP RAILROAD COMPANY would mix an abbreviated stamp, a spelled-out legal name, a Class I sibling, and a craft title. This page stays at $3,567,994 for UP RAILROAD COMPANY only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside the abbreviated carrier. ENGINEER, CONDUCTOR, and MANAGER exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of UP RAILROAD COMPANY. State filings are omitted from the $3,567,994.
Donor table without route inference
The UP RAILROAD COMPANY donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a division, a yard, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the UP abbreviation share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file and not a FRA roster.
Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the carrier stamp. Repeat names among 27,188 lines from 769 people are expected. People who typed UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD are not in these 769 unless a receipt also grouped to UP RAILROAD COMPANY.

UP abbreviation versus UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
UP RAILROAD COMPANY keyed $3.6M from 27,188 contributions and 769 donors. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD and BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY remain other keys. The 769 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of the carrier’s workforce. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the abbreviated stamp.
Keep $3,567,994, 27,188 contributions, and 769 donors on this UP-plus-COMPANY spelling. Unitemized gifts and company PAC documents remain omitted. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages.
Read $3,567,994 as the UP RAILROAD COMPANY cluster only. About 35 gifts per person, a mean gift near $131, and about $4,640 per donor are packet arithmetic. A very thick receipt file is consistent with repeat itemized gifts; the packet does not publish a craft-versus-management split. Unitemized gifts and company PAC filings sit outside the $3.6M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.

Questions
- How much have UP RAILROAD COMPANY-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,567,994 to the UP RAILROAD COMPANY employer string, from 27,188 contributions and 769 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS rail-transportation total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD included in this total?
- Only if those receipts grouped to UP RAILROAD COMPANY. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD as a spelled-out string is a separate grouped key if filers used it. The $3.6M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to UP RAILROAD COMPANY. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.
- Does this include BNSF employees?
- No. BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY is a separate employer string. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text UP RAILROAD COMPANY. Staff who typed only ENGINEER are in that title row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed UP RAILROAD COMPANY?
- The rollup counts 769 donors and 27,188 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the carrier. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
