Solid business even when the economy is down. When the economy picks up it's business will only improve. With a 3.8% dividend yield and a payout ratio of 32% it pays you while you wait.

The price of railroads are being propped up due to forces out of their control. The purchase of BNSF by Berkshire Hathaway has increased interest in the railroads. In addition, their deep moats have created an implied place of safety. The risk of reregulation I think is minimal since there is already extensive oversight by several government agencies. Many of the Class I railroads volumes are down to early 2000's levels which I would not expect to recover but at a pace in line with the general economy.

Norfolk Southern is well run and has been working hard to improve effeciency. Rail in general and NSC in particular will benefit from increased usage of intermodal. Cost effectiveness of coal and recent legislation favoring mountain top mining gives NSC a boost as well. Long on NSC since Sept. 2009.
