                    [REVERSE OF MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES E]
                           Union Pacific Corporation
                          Medium-Term Note, Series E

     This permanent global Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities (herein called the "Notes") of Union Pacific Corporation, a Utah
corporation (hereinafter called the "Company", which term includes any
successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), unlimited
in aggregate principal amount, issued and to be issued in one or more series
under an Indenture, dated as of December 20, 1996, between the Company and
Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined)), to which
indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (the "Indenture") reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which
the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This permanent
global Note is one of the series of Notes designated on the face hereof, of an
aggregate initial principal amount equal to the Principal Amount shown on the
face hereof (the "Principal Amount"), with the Interest Payment Dates, the
Issue Date, and the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof and bearing
interest on said Principal Amount at the interest rate specified on the face
hereof. The Notes of this series may be issued from time to time with varying
maturities, interest rates and other terms.

     The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as
nominee for the Depositary (as hereinafter defined), or registered assigns,
the Principal Amount hereof on the Maturity Date shown on the face hereof, and
to pay interest thereon, from and including the Issue Date shown on the face
hereof or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as
hereinafter defined) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for and
at Maturity unless the Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date (as
hereinafter defined) and an Interest Payment Date, in which case, the first
payment of interest hereon shall be made on the second Interest Payment Date
following the Issue Date, at the rate per annum set forth on the face hereof,
until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in
whose name this permanent global Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding
such Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest payable on
this permanent global Note at Maturity will be payable to the Person to whom
principal shall be payable.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, the "Interest Payment
Dates" for this permanent global Note will be May 1 and November 1 of each
year and at Maturity, and the "Regular Record Dates" for this permanent global
Note will be the April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding
the May 1 and November 1 Interest Payment Dates. Unless otherwise indicated on
the face hereof, interest payments for this permanent global Note shall be the
amount of interest accrued to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment
Date. Interest on this permanent global Note shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity of this permanent global Note falls on a day that is not a Market
Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be
made on the next succeeding Market Day with the same force and effect as if
made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on such
payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next
succeeding Market Day.

     This permanent global Note is exchangeable for definitive registered
Notes of this series of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount
only if (x) The Depository Trust Company, or any successor depositary with
respect to the Notes of this series (the "Depositary"), notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this permanent
global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a
successor 





depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (y) the
Company in its sole discretion determines that this permanent global Note
shall be exchangeable for definitive registered Notes and executes and
delivers to the Trustee an order of the Company providing that this permanent
global Note shall be so exchangeable or (z) there shall have happened and be
continuing an Event of Default or any event which, after notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of
the series of which this permanent global Note is a part. If this permanent
global Note is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Note
shall in the case of clause (x) above be exchanged in whole for definitive
registered Notes of this series, and in the case of clauses (y) and (z) above,
be exchangeable for definitive registered Notes of this series, provided that
the definitive registered Notes so issued in exchange for this Note shall be
in authorized denominations and be of like tenor and of an equal aggregate
principal amount as the portion of the Note to be exchanged, and provided
further that, in the case of clauses (y) and (z) above, definitive registered
Notes of this series will be issued in exchange for this permanent global
Note, or any portion hereof, only if such definitive registered Notes were
requested by written notice to the Security Registrar by or on behalf of a
Person who is a beneficial owner of an interest herein given through the
holder hereof. Any definitive registered Notes of this series issued in
exchange for this permanent global Note shall be registered in the name or
names of such Person or Persons as the holder hereof shall instruct the
Security Registrar. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests
in this permanent global Note will not be entitled to receive physical
delivery of Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the holders
thereof for any purpose under the Indenture.

     Any exchange of this permanent global Note for one or more definitive
registered Notes of this series will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Security Registrar in New York, New York. Upon exchange of any portion of
this permanent global Note for one or more definitive registered Notes of this
series, the Trustee shall endorse Exhibit A of this Note to reflect the
reduction of its Principal Amount by an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the definitive registered Notes of this series so issued
in exchange, whereupon the Principal Amount hereof shall be reduced for all
purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. Except as otherwise provided
herein or in the Indenture, until exchanged in full for one or more definitive
registered Notes of this series, this permanent global Note shall in all
respects be subject to and entitled to the same benefits and conditions under
the Indenture as a duly authenticated and delivered definitive registered Note
of this series.

     Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial owner of any
portion of this permanent global Note shall be entitled to receive payment of
accrued interest hereon until this permanent global Note has been exchanged
for one or more definitive registered Notes of this series, as provided herein
and in the Indenture.

     The principal and any interest in respect of any portion of this
permanent global Note payable in respect of an Interest Payment Date or at the
Stated Maturity thereof, in each case occurring prior to the exchange of such
portion for a definitive registered Note or Notes of this series, will be
paid, as provided herein, to the holder hereof which will undertake in such
circumstances to credit any such principal and interest received by it in
respect of this permanent global Note to the respective accounts of the
Persons who are the beneficial owners of such interests on such Interest
Payment Date or at Stated Maturity. If a definitive registered Note or
registered Notes of this series are issued in exchange for this permanent
global Note after the close of business at the office or agency where such
exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office
or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, then
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be,
in respect of such registered Note, but will be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the
holder hereof, and the holder hereof will undertake in such circumstances to
credit such interest to the account or accounts of the Persons who were the
beneficial owners of any portion of this permanent global Note on such Regular
Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case may be.

payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Any request
of a holder in accordance with this paragraph must be transmitted to the
Paying Agent on or prior to the relevant Regular Record Date or at least 16
days prior to Maturity, as the case may be. Such request may be in writing
(mailed or hand delivered) or by cable, telex or other form of facsimile

payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice
to the Paying Agent, but written notice of any such revocation must be
received by the Paying Agent on or prior to the relevant Regular Record Date

interest, and at least 16 days prior to Maturity, in the case of a payment of
principal or premium, of such beneficial owner's election to receive such
payment in such Specified Currency. Such participant must notify the
Depositary of such election on or prior to the third Market Day after such

Depositary will notify the Paying Agent of such election on or prior to the
fifth Market Day after such Record Date or at least 10 days prior to the
Maturity Date, as the case may be. If complete instructions are received by
such participant from the beneficial owner and forwarded by the participant to
the Depositary, and by the Depositary to the Paying Agent, on or prior to such

Specified Currency.

of Notes of this series.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this permanent
global Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and any interest on this permanent global Note at the times,
places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.





     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of a Note is registerable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of such Note for registration of transfer at the office of the
Security Registrar for this series or at the offices of any transfer agent
designated by the Company for such purpose. Every Note presented for
registration of transfer shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee)
be duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar duly
executed by the holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and one or
more new Notes of like tenor and terms in registered form, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued in
the name or names of the designated transferee or transferees and delivered at
the office of the Security Registrar in The City of New York, or mailed, at
the request, risk and expense of the transferee or transferees, to the address
or addresses shown in the Security Register for such transferee or
transferees.

     Any transfers of Notes or interests in Notes in different denominations
shall in each case be for Notes or interests of like tenor and terms and equal
aggregate principal amounts.

     Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar and any agent of the Company, the
Trustee or the Security Registrar may treat the Person in whose name a Note is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not such Note is
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or exchange
Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business of 15 days before
the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Notes selected
for redemption under Section 1103 of the Indenture and ending at the close of
business on the date of such mailing or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Note
so selected for redemption in whole or in part.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of any
Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The authorized denominations of Notes denominated in U.S. Dollars will be
U.S. $1,000 and any larger amount that is an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000.
The authorized denominations of Notes denominated in a currency other than
U.S. Dollars will be as set forth on the face hereof.

     The Notes of this series (including this permanent global Note) shall be
dated the date of their authentication.

     All terms used and not otherwise defined in this permanent global Note
which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture.

     The Indenture and the Notes shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York.
