If you have already made your money on this one I say sell and sell right now. The housing and auto industries create huge volumes of business for the rail roads and both of these industries are going down the tubes. They keep saying that coal is king and getting them more volume in business but are they going to start shipping 2 times as much coal in the coming months to make up the volumes they lost from the auto and housing industries? I do not think so. On top of that gas is going down and many companies that had switched to rail will start changing back to truck. This always happens once the gas prices go down. Plus the rail are going to have to reduce their fuel surcharges with the falling fuel prices and this was a huge windfall of revenue for them.
