While the economy appears shaky at times, overall things are up and construction is occurring in many cities across the country. Although some of our raw material processing and use now occurs outside the US, some of it is still mined here. Amidst the oil cost debates, people are turning to coal for heating and energy production. These things all need mass transportation across the country, something rail is very good for. Lastly, with higher fuel costs, delivery companies like UPS are finding it cost effectice to ship their ground delivery packages via rail rather than by truck. A year ago, BNI had more business than they could keep up with. The stock price seems to indicate that this trend is continuing.
