      The Union Pacific API provides programmatic access to real-time railroad supply
      chain data and operational actions. The API enables shipment tracking, equipment
      management, order placement, exception case management, and intermodal planning.
      APIs are structured as data objects that can be used standalone or combined to
      create robust supply chain workflows. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 Client
      Credentials flow.
