Some players feel that, as originally conceived, Union Pacific (UP) stock is overvalued within the game. This player sentiment can cause a run on UP stock early in the game while ignoring the other profitable stocks. In order to address this perceived stock imbalance, players have often adopted the following variant table which lowers the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dividends. Even if you don't feel there's a UP dividend imbalance, this variant table can add new strategy dimensions when used. Enjoy!

1st shareholder	$0  mill.	$5  mill.	$10  mill.	$15  mill.
2nd shareholder	$0  mill.	$4  mill.	$8  mill.	$12  mill.
