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.
North American rail stocks had a pretty difficult 2014-2015. He got more constructive on them early last year. The stocks have had a pretty big recovery over the course of the year. In the transportation arena, rails are very properly valued. In most cases they are at or above the market multiple. Canadian Pacific (CP-T) stands out as a little cheaper, so there may be a bit more opportunity in that. There has been a real change going on in the North American airline industry, and he thinks those names are going to do the best. (See Top Picks.)
