CN.

Purchased Illinois Central stock years ago.

Generally, I do not consider purchasing railroad stocks at this time as they do not meet general financial criteria such as ROE, ROIC, and free cash flow that I have established for owning companies.

If I could buy at a steep discount, which would meet the financial thresholds on the above items, I would. But, at a steep discount.

Emotions such not enter into stock ownership. Just the facts.

Any railfans here take their love of railroads a step further by owning railroad stock? If so, which company? I myself own a few shares of Norfolk Southern, partly because it's my favorite railroad but mostly because I feel it's a solid investment. Anyone else out there willing to admit which companies they invest in?
