Great acquisition of Kansas City by CP was a game changer. CNR is the gold standard in North America. US is not in a recession yet, but if it does happen, all the rails will get cheaper. Don't settle for just a 1% differential from the historical average, when you might be able to get it 20% cheaper.
Rails are an interesting view into the economy. The only thing showing any kind of strength for the rails is the auto area. That indicates the economy is a slow growth economy and that industrial America is one of the weakest parts. The consumer is probably where the strength lies in the economy. This is trading where it should be in the 11 to 12 times earnings area. There isn’t any hurry to get into this.
