Here's what the Class 1's stock stays around:
BNSF-30 points stock name-BurlNSF
CSX-30 points stock name-CSX
KCS-13 points stock name KanCS or KCSI
NS-25 points stock name NorSou or NorfSou
UP-60 points stock name UP
these are rough estimates, by the way, but the stocks will usually be within 7 points of that.

Transportation stocks are very dependably cyclic reflecting the business cycle. It may be too late in the current business cycle for the transports. In general the rails are a mature sector with limited growth prospects. Unless an individual stock pays an attractive dividend I would avoid them.

The stocks do move, just not fast. Some even pay dividends.

Here are the symbols for the major railroads, all on the NYSE.
BNSF = BNI
UP = UNP
CP = CP
KCS = KSU
NS = NSC
CSX = CSX
I could not find Canadian National, they may not be publicly traded.

If you want to invest in train stocks I'll sell ya some stock in my layout - Double Six Northern. Stock name will be - DSN - with an asking price of $1000 a share.

I'll only need to sell a couple shares to get the layout finished. [:D] All buyers welcome!!

I too could offer stocks in my railroad layout. One little problem though, unless you like losing money, you'll only get about ten% of the stock back, maybe not even that.[(-D][(-D][swg][:-^][:-^]

Wabtec, General Motors and GE are companys that make railroad equipment that have stock.

UP has the highest stock but it rises and falls a lot so it may not be the best.

I agree, there aren't many more places to go for the railroads.
