Union Pacific is scheduled to report its earnings on April 21st.  We believe top-line headwinds in the form of lower shipment volumes and fuel surcharge revenue negatively impacted Union Pacific’s Q1 revenue and profitability, though lower costs likely offset part of the impact of lower revenue on earnings. A decline in the demand for coal by utilities as a result of low natural gas prices and lower fuel surcharge revenue contributed to the decline in the company’s Q1 revenue.
