		<description><![CDATA[After lower coal production forecasts by U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), railroads are again worried about the proposed regulation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for power plants across 27 states. The proposed guideline –– Carbon Pollution Standard for New Power Plants –– aims at restricting emission of carbon dioxide by new power plants under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act. The standard proposes new power plants to now limit their carbon-dioxide emission to 1,000 pounds per megawatt-hour. Power plants fueled by natural gas have already met these standards but majority of the units using conventional resources like coal are exceeding the set limit, as they emit an average of 1,800 pounds of carbon-dioxide per megawatt-hour. As a result, new power plants either have to be fueled by ]]></description>

The company is purchasing approximately 65 new and 96 second-hand locomotives to enhance the service abilities on its network and support the growing demand for rail freight. Through the year, Canadian National will take deliveries of approximately 87 second-hand and 11 leased locomotives from GE Transportation, a subsidiary of General Electric (GE). Further, in 2013 and 2014, the company is slated to take deliveries of approximately 35 locomotives from GE Transportation and 30 new SD70ACe locomotives from Electro-Motive Diesel, a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc. (CAT). The purchase of new locomotives will ensure higher fuel efficiency for the company as they replace older fleet that not ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Freight Railroads performed exceptionally well in 2011 despite difficult weather conditions and an extremely volatile U.S. economy. Solid commodities volumes, effective cost management, and improved rail efficiency helped U.S railroads to continue their strong performance. The railroads are gaining momentum over the trucking industry due to significant rise in fuel costs of truckers. Currently, the railroads are carrying more cargos, which is helping them gain market share. During fiscal 2011, the railroads benefited from strong pricing gain reflecting both solid yield improvement and higher fuel surcharges. Shipments of construction components, lumber and motor vehicle volumes increased over 30% year over year. Petroleum product shipment rose 29% year over year. Importantly, industry players are now more confident that this excellent performance will get further momentum during fiscal 2012. In ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the leading Canadian Railroad, Canadian Pacific (CP) has recently announced it long-term strategy for train lengths and network expansion in 2012-2013. In 2012, the company intends to upgrade and install new sidetracks in key areas to support increased train length. Further in 2013, Canadian Pacific plans to increase train length by 11% on the trans-Canada rail routes. Enhancement of network capabilities over the next couple of years remain concurrent with its goal of enhancing capacity, safety and service metrics as well as increase fuel efficiency of 1-2% over the long term. Since 2008, the company’s intermodal trains have grown by 40% to a length of approximately 12,000 feet. The longer trains have resulted in increased efficiency in terms of capital inputs and have enabled the company to tap ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) reported excellent financial results for the third quarter of 2011 despite facing several challenges, such as extreme heat, floods, late harvest, and reduced shipment of containers. Both revenue and EPS was well above the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Increased fuel cost recoveries, core pricing gain, and volume growth helped Union Pacific to perform fabulously. The freight railroads are gaining momentum over the truckers due to significant rise in fuel costs of truckers. The railroads are at present carrying more cargos, which is helping them to prosper even under a volatile U.S. economy. Union Pacific is also gaining. Nevertheless, we remain concerned regarding the slowdown of intermodal volume and year-over-year increase in operating ratio. We also believe, if the global economic volatility persists for a long time, Union ]]></description>

Solid commodities volumes, healthy demand for coal and improved efficiencies are helping the railroads to continue their strong performance.

This combination of cyclical and secular trends is helping the railroads carry ever more cargos, which is helping them to take the current economic uncertainties in the stride.

		<description><![CDATA[We are currently maintaining our long-term Neutral rating on Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (CP), the largest rail network in Canada, supported by a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). Canadian Pacific, together with its subsidiaries, operates a transcontinental railway in Canada and the U.S., with freight transport being a major source of its revenue. We believe Canadian Pacific is benefiting from strong growth in each of its product lines, particularly Coal and Intermodal. Despite the choppy economic recovery, the company remains on track to produce an operating ratio in the low 70&#8242;s over the next three-to-five years. Canadian Pacific is focusing on structural cost savings by consolidating eleven service areas into six. This consolidation is expected to fuel profits and margins in 2011. Canadian Pacific also plans to invest approximately C$950 million ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early indications are pointing a rosy picture for the U.S. freight railroads in 2011. In the first quarter of 2011, railroad carload volume is up nearly 5.3% compared with the prior-year quarter. The industry has achieved this result despite of experiancing severe winter storm during this period. Importantly, industry players are now more confident that this fabulous performance will get further momentum during the rest of 2011. Fiscal 2010 was a turnaround year for the railroad industry after a huge downturn in 2009 due to severe recession. However, fiscal 2011 is most likely to beat the prior-year operating metrics. Primarily there are four reasons for this strong performance: (1) Increasing worldwide demand for coal in power generation. Utility coal volumes are expected to recover year over year mainly due to ]]></description>

Currently, the stock has the Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). We believe Canadian Pacific is benefiting from strong volume growth and continued operating gains. Despite the choppy economic recovery, management is confident of delivering strong results with low operating ratio (defined as operating expenses as a percentage of revenue) over the upcoming years. The company remains on track to produce an operating ratio in low 70s over the next three-to-five years. This low operating ratio can be achieved through structural cost reductions, longer runs and heavier trains equipped with distributed power, greater asset utilization as well as consolidating divisions, yards and shops. Canadian Pacific’s third quarter earnings per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus ]]></description>

(UNP) made history by launching its first national advertising campaign in nearly a decade, focused on creating new business opportunities. In the second quarter 2010, Union Pacific witnessed a record operating ratio of 69.4% compared with 77.4% in the prior- year quarter. This is the first time that Union Pacific achieved a sub-70 benchmark. Union Pacific is also hiring and training rail crew to further improve operating efficiency. During second quarter 2010, the company repurchased nearly 6.5 million shares for a total consideration of approximately $466 million, reflecting management’s confidence in the improving U.S. economy and free cash flow dynamics.

		<description><![CDATA[During the economic downturn, the railroad industry suffered more than most industries. That’s because the railroad business is closely tied to economic growth. When the economy fell into a deep recession, there wasn’t much demand for rail transport. In response to the slowdown, railroads slashed costs, streamlined operations and increased productivity. Those moves helped the industry stem the bleeding and stabilize profit margins. Improving Conditions Now that the economy has rebounded and is in recovery mode, the railroad industry is making money hand over fist. Improved economic conditions are helping boost sales volumes. According to the Association of American Railroads, rail carloads increased 7.4% in the first half of 2010. Second-quarter carloads were up 13.4% in the second quarter. So far, carloads are up 13.0% in the third quarter. Operating ]]></description>

The company’s results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10 cents. Net earnings of CSX shot up 50.7% in the second quarter to $1.07 per share from 71 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. Net profit jumped 47% year over year to $414 million, due to a strong rebound in demand for cars and metals. Results were driven by increased revenues from volume improvement in chemicals, metals, automotives, coal and intermodal in the wake of an economic resurgence. Revenues increased 22% year over year to $2.7 billion, with volume gains across all major markets. Overall volume rose 13% year over year.

We believe increased traffic, solid execution, significant increase in industrial production, ongoing inventory replenishment and a sharp rebound in many of the company’s end markets will fuel growth going forward, due to a sustainable improvement in the economy. Canadian National consistently leads the Class I railroads relative to several key financial metrics. The company has the industry best operating ratio, free cash generation, return on equity and return on invested capital. The company expects solid double-digit earnings growth for 2010, with carload growth in the low double digits and pricing improvement of about 3.5%.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) from Outperform to Neutral, implying that the stock will perform mostly in line with the broader market. This move is based on the relatively unfavorable economic environment and the regulatory risks. The current state of the U.S. and world economy is expected to keep Union Pacific’s top-line growth under pressure in the near future.  It will not be feasible for the majority of sectors to escape this downturn unscathed. Volumes, as measured by total carloads, were down 16% for full year 2009, compared with a decline of 5% in 2008 and 1% in 2007. Moreover, certain operating expenses are likely to increase in the coming years. While Union Pacific has caught up on its backlog of hiring, the company still ]]></description>

Rail traffic, therefore, acts as a solid barometer of the overall health of the economy. Since around 2003?2004, a number of factors have led to an increase in rail freight volume in the U.S: Rising fuel costs led to an increased demand for rail, since railroads are on an average four times more fuel-efficient than trucks. A surge in U.S. imports and record U.S. agricultural exports boosted rail shipments to and from ports.

The company raised its quarterly dividend by 9% to 27 Canadian cents per share from 24.75 Canadian cents per share and is likely to be payable on July 26 to shareholders of record as of June 25, 2010. It also raised its capital spending by C$70 million ($66.9 million) and expects the total capital spending to be in the range of C$750 million ($716.9 million) to C$800 million ($764.7 million) for 2010.
