Pennsylvania Railroad Maintains Dividend Record in 1930
The Pennsylvania Railroad reports a 1930 dividend of 2 percent totaling 235,000 to stockholders, continuing an 84 year cash return. Despite a 17 percent drop in gross revenues from 1929 to 1930, expenses were cut without harming service, and over $100 million was spent on electrification and improvements. President Atterbury notes active electrification, terminal, shop and facility work providing employment amid the depression.
