Union Pacific Corp. on Thursday said profit and revenue rose in its second quarter, as increased prices, higher fuel-surcharge revenue and a positive business mix helped to offset a decline in volume.

The Omaha, Neb.-based railroad company posted net income of $1.84 billion, or $2.93 a share, compared with $1.80 billion, or $2.72 a share, in the year-ago quarter.

Revenue rose 14% to $6.27 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expected revenue of $6.13 billion.

Chief Executive Lance Fritz said inflation and high fuel prices affected the company's operating costs, but the higher costs were offset by changes including price increases and train size initiatives.

Business revenues, as measured by total revenue carloads, were down 1% from the prior year, the company said.

Additionally, the company said train speeds are down while idle time is up. The average number of miles traveled daily and average mile-per-hour speed decreased in the latest quarter, and the average terminal dwell time increased.
