CHICAGO (Reuters) - Union Pacific Corp, the No. 1 U.S. railroad, canceled a major embargo on its east-west line running through Iowa as flood waters receded, according to the company's website.

Although the major embargoes have been lifted, an embargo on traffic to and from Cedar Rapids proper remained, the company said.
