Actually, some of you folks might be rather entertained by looking up which major institutional investors (Financial companies and venture capitalists) own double-digit percentages of stock in each of the major railroads. This will give you a very hefty clue as to why certain analysts are making the educated guesses that I listed in my previous post. <br />For example, Allegany Corporation (sp?) and First Alliance Financial each own major percentages of stock in both BNSF, CSX, CN, and KCS. Said railroads also have numerous voluntary coordination agreements (VCA's) amongst one another, and CN and CSX just announced that they will be integrating and meshing their electronic on-line sales and marketing efforts. Similarly, BNSF, CSX, CN, and KCS are each partners in a pooled intermodal container service called North American Container Service. <br />Similarly, several major institutional investors have overlapping stock holdings in both UP, CP, and NS. NS is currently negotiating with UP to bring UP on board as a partner in their Thoroughbred Services Triple-Crown Road-Railer operations, similar to existing agreements between NS and CP. UP, CP, and NS are also partners in the EMP pooled container service. <br /> <br />Best Regards from Ross R. Moore, Jr. in Southern California.
