HARRIMAN DISPATCHING CENTER
The Harriman Dispatching Center (HDC), located in Omaha, Nebraska, is our primary dispatching facility.
It is linked to regional dispatching and locomotive management facilities at various locations along our
network. HDC employees coordinate moves of locomotives and trains, manage traffic and train crews on
our network, and coordinate interchanges with other railroads. Approximately 900 employees currently
work on-site in the facility.
RAIL FACILITIES
In addition to our track structure, we operate numerous facilities, including terminals for intermodal and
other freight; rail yards for train-building (classification yards), switching, storage-in-transit (the temporary
storage of customer goods in rail cars prior to shipment) and other activities; offices to administer and
manage our operations; dispatching centers to direct traffic on our rail network; crew quarters to house
train crews along our network; and shops and other facilities for fueling, maintenance, and repair of
locomotives and repair and maintenance of rail cars and other equipment. The following tables include
