(Reuters) - Union Pacific Corp, one of the largest U.S. freight railroad operators, on Thursday reported better-than-expected quarterly profit, bolstered by higher shipping volumes of grain, refrigerated food and drinks, and retail goods.

Still, shares in the company fell 4.3% to $208.85 in midday trading on concern that the pace of volume growth and efficiency gains could moderate as a slow vaccine rollout threatens an economy battered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“All of that all raises some questions,” Edward Jones analyst Jeff Windau said.
