Greater Sacramento area Union Pacific and BNSF railroads

The Greater Sacramento area is served by Union Pacific (UP) and BNSF Railway, two major freight railroads in the United States. Union Pacific operates a significant rail yard in Roseville, known as the J.R. Davis Yard, which is the largest rail yard on the West Coast and a critical hub for freight operations. BNSF Railway also operates in the region, connecting its national rail network to Sacramento and facilitating the transport of goods. Both railroads play a key role in supporting the region's economy by transporting agricultural products, consumer goods, and industrial materials.
