It is a newer design as it has sapphires and a different version of the Union Pacific Shield. It do not believe it was a regular option for a service award which makes it a rare find. Union Pacific Railroad employees began receiving service awards in 1969 planned as part of the Company’s celebration of the Golden Spike Centennial year. It was in recognition of the employee’s years of service or retirement. The awards were a tie tack-lapel pin for men or a brooch arrangement for women. The emblems featured a UP shield and were created from 10K yellow and white gold and were studded with full cut diamonds, rubies or emeralds depending on the amount of service represented.The original award descriptions were: 5 year award: no gem 10 year award: 1 emerald 20 year award: 1 ruby 25 year award: 2 rubies 30 year award: 3 rubies 40 year award: 1 diamond 50 year award: 2 diamonds Retirement: 3 diamondsThe awards were later changed to include sapphires, but I was unable to locate when and what years they represented.
