WASHINGTON — Union Pacific Corp., the biggest railroad in North America, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday to periodically sell up to $1 billion in debt securities and stock.

Net proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment, working capital, acquisitions, and stock repurchase programs, the company said in a shelf registration statement.
