I think that the energy advantages of shipping by rail will help this stock long term. Good price to buy at for a long hold.

This company recently bought out Meridian Rail and is in transition.

Their stock has been down in cyclic times and has always comeback. They had a 4% dividend paid out even in this time of recession and previously had 8% dividends paid out each quarter consistently in the year before. They have managers and vice presidents with over 25 years of experience in the industry and they have all weathered the down cycle and know that it will pass and they will be on top again. Combined with the recession it took a big dive but that only means when it's the boom time again the stock will be headed up with a bullet. My inexperienced opinion from interpretting the history, is that this is a buy and hold in order to make a very very lucrative profit. This company has crushed the competitors in the area and bought up the others and is always looking to the future and building on it's strengths and management.

You will not regret this investment, rail is here to stay and this company is vital to it's continuation.
