Pleased by approval of KSU acquisition. Shares popped last week. Synergies. Longer term, this completes its network nicely, right into the industrial heartland of Mexico. Even more important with de-globalization and near-shoring. An industrial, but one that tends to fare well in difficult economic times. Buy, hold, and keep.
