Iowa Falls and Sioux City Railroad Details and Economics

The Iowa Falls and Sioux City line runs 185 miles from Iowa Falls to Sioux City as a continuation of the Dubuque and Sioux City. Stock value is 25,000 dollars per mile with bonds totaling 4,623,500 dollars and 16,000 per mile bonds at 2,947,500 dollars. The road has no floating debt except a disputed claim by the Illinois Central and is leased to the Illinois Central at 86 percent. They deduct 10 percent draw from the Dubuque and Sioux City line and pay quarterly dividends of seven percent per annum. The May 16 1885 report shows cash and assets well in excess of obligations, suggesting funds to cover equipment or contingencies while continuing 7 percent annual dividends. Earnings reflect rising land sales and settlements along the line, with April and May 1883 selling at higher rates per acre. The article also notes director elections for several rail companies and raises related financial and listing actions for other carriers.
