Railroad Demand Strong?

I also read daily news headlines in search of new investment ideas. I noticed a very compelling comment in the railroad article mentioning the spending of more than $8 billion in the short term for track and other railroad equipment. I was wondering if there are other plays on public companies involved in providing railroad ties and other equipment (excluding railcars) for the rail industry? $8 billion is plenty of cash, and it would seem that it could be a great way to play the continuing rail boom, at least from what was mentioned in the WSJ piece.
