Wednesday, March 27, 2:29 PM Are railroad stocks (KSU, UNP, NSC, GWR, PWX, CNI, BNI) ready to stay on track to see even higher levels? Despite valuations that are getting stretched after a broad sector rally, a compelling case can be made that shares will keep motoring higher. The industry will pour $14B into improvements this year and freight demand is forecast to soar 50% by 2050.

Monday, February 11, 11:00 AM A bullish piece in Barron's on the prospects for CSX (CSX +3%) appears to be tipping sentiment positive for several railroad sector peers. Though a boom in coal demand isn't expected, the rate of decline in shipments is already slowing and could reverse itself in the next year which bodes well for the railroad industry. Advancers: NSC +2.0%, CP +1.3%, UNP +1.1%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
