CAPS Rating:
*****

A Virginia based Company which controls freight railroad, Norfolk Southern Railway Company. The Company also transports overseas freight through several Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports and provides logistics services and offers intermodal network.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

All the rails right now imho are in a trading range with load figures still dropping per http://railfax.transmatch.com . I love the rails long-term but right now I think most are headed lower over the next couple of weeks. Will wait to buy on the dips as I have been buying them lately on the dips ...More

High fuel prices = rail. A no-brainer. Haul 4 tons for 500 miles on 1 gallon of gas? Can you see the bullet trains in our future? Can't go wrong with this one.

A Warren Buffet Pick
Long term dividend pick
peak oil play.
As fuel prices continue to increase, so does the economics of scale in transportation. As trucking companies increase their prices to recoup the cost of fuel, the major train companies will see increased business.
