Railroad industry

Article Abstract:

Consolidation has continued to be a major trend within the railroad industry during the 1990s, even with some of the short-term safety and congestion problems involved. Railroad privatization in Mexico is also expected to have an impact on US rail carriers, as well. Grain carload volume has increased in 1997, and will in the future, but auto and coal volume has been reduced. Several railroad stocks may be rewarding for risk-tolerant investors.

Railroad industry

Article Abstract:

Consolidation is continuing in the railroad industry with 14 proposed mergers in 1995 and 1996. This trend is likely to continue on a smaller scale in 1996 and 1997, with the aims of efficiency and market share gains. Freight volume for 1996 is rising, and intermodal loads will increase during the second half of 1996 with an improved economy and higher trucking rates. These stocks are expected to outperform the market in 1996 and 1997.
