As market recovers, an increased volume of shipping will follow. In addition to a return to previous volumes, rails can expect to steal some volume of goods from commercial trucking as the US seeks less energy dependence on foreign oil.

This is a stock with large potential. Further, the railroad stocks are at excellent value as compared to other areas of the market. This stock is a rocket train! Click it's growth over the last 5 years. When the market pops, i'll be on the first train. The Kansas City Southern Train rides express to profits that is.

I used to know a girl who graduated from this school. She was pretty smart, so I'm sure the school will make a bunch of money in alumni donations and stuff.

Ok...let me get this straight. A Class 1 railroad for below book value!? KSU pretty much controls the southern passage to Mexico and owns chemical and petroleum plants which were damaged by Hurricanes Gustav. Add a recession and a swine flu and you have a super cheap stock. This is the type of stuff Buffet dreams of. KSU is like that proverbial "toll bridge" that he dreams about in his younger days. This is no Baltic dry shipper with no moat.....this is a RAILROAD!! Would not be surprised if he picked up some shares of this for BRK.

KSU has taken a bad hit in this market due to lack of demand. However, once stimulus funds begin to spur businesses, demand for rail services will begin to pick up.

KSU is priced under book value and has a solid business. Rail isn't going anywhere.

Easy money in the short term this stock was last at this price in 2002 when they were making alot less money. High debt is a concern but the insiders don't care so neither do I.

Sticking to my guns on the railroad industry. KSU is one of the better "little guys" in the industry, and will continue to grow as some more of the smaller pikes begin to drop out of the game or merge with the others. RIDE THE RAILS!!

small company in reemerging sector with big growth prospects. Recent pull back makes this rail cheapest of the cheap.

Mid-Cap Railroad - A smaller railroad poised for growth that I had held in the past and should have held onto. The rising price of gas has helped this stock, as well as the developoing Mexican economy. Good management and profitability numbers. Not a big fan of the 29M cash vs. 1.89B debt, but dealing with it.
Got in at $34.89 in mid-March 2008.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sees freight railroad use jumping 88% over the next 25 years.
"All the evidence is there that the train is returning to a degree once never expected [and that] an economic and cultural tsunami is about to transform the United States," says Harvard professor John Stilgoe, author of the recently published book Train Time. "Change is everywhere along the railroads....Track is being expanded, modernized and relaid, and once-abandoned rail right-of-ways are being reclaimed. And what you are seeing now is only the beginning. The best is yet to come."

KSU has strong fundamentals and has just passed a previous high. Railroads are get far better mileage than trucks saving customers money especially with the high price of gas. Coal shipments are increasing and products involved in the real estate industry will ship at a greater rate once the housing market turns around.

this is a perfect play for rising oil prices. not only will shipping from china become more expensive, thus transfering more manufacturing to Mexico (where they have a line) but, since trains are far more efficient than trucks, people will be moving more stuff via rail.

Its a north-south railroad in a nation of east-west networks. Rising fuel prices will only make rail transport more attractive in the coming years. Experienced management and the newest locomotive fleet of any Class 1 make this the most attractive of Class 1 investments.

As a mid-size railroad company, KSU also has net work in Mexico, which make this company less depended on the health of US economy. Again with the higher energy cost, railroad is the most economical way for distribution of goods within US. Unless the energy cost decrease, railroad will be major player in the US economy
