Railroad industry

Article Abstract:

The strength in railroad traffic in 1995 should be maintained through the rest of the year. Freight loadings, due to record grain harvests in 1994 and 1995, are at their highest since World War II and will benefit from the recently merged Burlington Northern, Chicago and North Western, and other companies. Railroads will have good earnings for 1995 and a strong return on investment for the next 3 to 5 years, with stocks outperforming the market.

Railroad industry

Article Abstract:

Stocks in the railroad industry have weakened in mid-1999 for a variety of factors, and, in addition, many shippers are calling for the re-regulation of the industry due to poor service. Industry consolidation has not been as efficient as expected and the trucking industry has gained market share over railroads, although this can change with intermodal investments by the industry. These stocks are best suited for speculative investors in 1999.
