"It is an honor to celebrate this historic milestone and the
company's ascension to the longest-listed transportation company
and largest railroad traded on the New York Stock Exchange with the
financial community and our dedicated employees," said Union
Pacific Chairman, President and CEO Lance
Fritz, who led the virtual ringing. "Their relentless focus
on our customers is transforming Union Pacific more than 150 years
after President Abraham Lincoln
founded our company."
The ingenuity of its employees helped transform Union Pacific's
network by streamlining operations and focusing on safe, efficient
and reliable rail service that customers can count on. Operating
changes implemented over the last two years improved shipment
arrival times for customers, contributing to Union Pacific's
record-high stock price achievement in 2020. Initially trading on
the New York Stock Exchange at less than $27 per share, Union Pacific has had seven stock
splits and paid dividends on common stock for 121 consecutive
years.
As a company that has operated for more than a century and a
half, sustainability is built into the fabric of Union Pacific's
performance. Its continuous circle of innovation helps the
company withstand the test of time and become stronger after
emerging from unforeseen challenges. Union Pacific is ready to
support America's post-COVID 19 comeback with reliable rail service
that will help current and future customers grow.
