		<description><![CDATA[Kansas City Southern (KSU) reported first quarter 2012 adjusted earnings per share of 75 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 72 cents. The earnings figure jumped 29.3% year over year from 58 cents driven by higher freight rates. Adjusted earnings for the first quarter exclude the impact of 7 cents per share of unfavorable special items related to adjustment for debt retirement costs. Quarterly total revenue was $547.5 million, up 12.1% year over year and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $543 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to a record 7% growth in carloading and pricing gains. In the first quarter, operating income was $157.8 million, up 23% on 260 basis points (bps) improvement in operating ratio (defined as operating expenses as a percentage of revenue) ]]></description>

		<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>

		<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[Before the opening bell, the U.S. railroad giant Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) reported its fourth quarter fiscal 2011 adjusted earnings of $1.99 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.81 as well as the year-ago earnings of $1.56. Better-than-expected earnings were on the back of increased prices and more cargo hauling. Fiscal 2011 adjusted earnings shot up 22% to $6.72 from a year ago, representing the most profitable year in the company’s history. The U.S. railroads are gaining market share from truckers, who are suffering from the significant rise in diesel fuel costs. Revenue climbed 16% year over year to a record $5.108 billion in the fourth quarter, and breezed past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.051 billion on volume growth. Volumes (carloads) grew 3% year over year in ]]></description>

The alarming possibility of a 90-day labor strike came to a halt when U.S. legislative authorities intervened to restrict any service disruption. The National Railway Labor Conference, representing 30 U.S. railroads including Union Pacific Corp. (UNP), CSX Corp. (CSX), Kansas City Southern (KSU) and Norfolk Southern (NSC) on collective bargaining and negotiations has already settled upon a tentative agreement with 10 labor unions and recently inked deals with two others: Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, and American Train Dispatchers Association. The regulatory body also expects to finalize an agreement by February 8, 2012 with the remaining union: Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, which represents 25,000 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 10/14/11 While the earnings season kicked off this past week, only 38 firms reported. The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

However, a suggested decline in coal shipments for the second half of the year by Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and Walter Energy (WLT) is having a ripple effect on the rail industry. The negative market reaction resulted in steep declines in share prices. Major players like CSX Corporation (CSX) and Norfolk Southern (NSC) plunged 8.1% and 8.3%, respectively, followed by Union Pacific (UNP) and Kansas City (KSU) which sank a respective 6% and 4.5%. The recent news comes as a big blow to rail companies as ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Freight Railroads have been able to keep up the momentum despite facing unusual weather conditions and an extremely volatile U.S. economy. Solid commodities volumes, healthy demand for coal and improved efficiencies are helping the railroads to continue their strong performance. The railroads are also benefiting from the significant rise in the cost base of the trucking industry.

Fiscal 2010 was a turnaround year for the railroad industry after the downturn in 2009 due to the Great Recession. In 2011, the railroads are benefiting from strong pricing gains reflecting yield improvements and higher fuel surcharges. Importantly, industry players remain confident that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 7/15/11 Second quarter earnings season is now under way, but things really start to move into high gear next week. There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business. We have a relatively light economic data calendar, so earnings should be front and center, along with the sovereign debt situations on both ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our long-term Neutral recommendation on Union Pacific Corp. (UNP). The company reported mixed financial results in the first quarter of 2011. Revenue easily beats the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while EPS fell below it. In the last quarter, Union Pacific improved year over year on several metrics including operating ratio, business growth, pricing gain, and cost control. An improving U.S. economy, significant surge in automotive and intermodal shipments, together with a sharp rebound in many of the company’s end markets are expected to fuel growth of Union Pacific in the near future. As the economy continues to grow gradually, demand for carriage also becomes robust and we believe this momentum will sustain in the long run.  Nevertheless, sequential increase in operating ratio and slowing growth rate of business volume ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early indications are painting a rosy picture for the U.S. Freight Railroads in 2011. In the first quarter of 2011, the U.S. rail carload volume was up nearly 5.3% compared with the prior-year quarter. A recent report of the Association of American Railroads (AAR), the main trade body of the U.S. Freight Railway industry, stated that the first quarter 2011 rail carload volume, excluding grain and coal, is up nearly 7.9% to 4.6 million compared with the prior-year quarter. This was the second best first quarter, after a rise of 9.3% last year. Fiscal 2010 was a turnaround year for the railroad industry after a huge downturn in 2009 due to the recession. The industry has achieved this result despite a severe winter storm during this period. Importantly, industry players ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. railroad giant  Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) reported mixed results for the first quarter of 2011. Quarterly net income was $639 million or $1.29 per share compared with a net income of $516 million or $1.01 per share in the year-ago quarter. However, first-quarter 2011 EPS of $1.29 was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.31. This was primarily attributable to 33% rise in diesel fuel prices year over year. Total operating revenue, in the first quarter of 2011, was $4,490 million, up 13% year over year and better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,400 million. Within this, total Freight revenue was $4,248 million, up 13% year over year. Quarterly Freight revenue of all the six business groups increased in the same quarter. Union Pacific fumbles with respect ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent report of the Association of American Railroads (AAR), the main trade body of the U.S. Freight Railway industry, reported that the first quarter 2011 rail carload volume, excluding grain and coal, is up nearly 7.9% to 4.6 million rail cars compared with the prior-year quarter. Last year’s first quarter rose 9.3%. However, fiscal 2010 was a turnaround year for the railroad industry after a huge downturn in 2009 due to the severe recession. The industry has achieved this result despite the severe winter storm during this period.

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation for Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) to Neutral based on its current valuation, which has moved up by 52% in the last one year and is currently trading at higher multiples with respect to several valuation metrics compared to the S&#38;P 500 average. Union Pacific is currently trading at the high-end of its 52-week price range. At this high valuation level, we believe there exists very limited scope for any near-term above-market gain. The company’s third quarter 2010 results were far ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimates. This excellent performance was achieved through best-ever operating ratio, massive growth in business volume, cost control and pricing gains. An improving U.S. economy, massive surge in automotive and intermodal shipments, together with a sharp rebound in many of the company’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the Board of Directors of Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) decided to raise the quarterly dividend by 15% to 38 cents per share from 33 cents. Remarkably, this is the second time in 2010 that the company has decided to increase its dividend rate. In early 2010, Union Pacific raised it dividend to 33 cents from 27 cents. Together, the company has raised dividend by a whopping 40.8% in 2010 alone. On the same day, in another major boost to Union Pacific, Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services has uplifted the rating of the company to “BBB+” from existing “BBB.” Both of these are lower medium grade rating of S&#38;P however, the overall financial outlook of Union Pacific is now upgraded to “Stable” from “Positive.” We believe, the major reason for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent report presented by the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee it is stated that the discretionary pricing power enjoyed by the Class I freight rail transport companies are putting excessive pressure on freight customers. The freight railroad operators are enjoying this pricing power since 1980 when the U.S. government adopted the Staggers Rail Act. The idea was to allow rail transporters to hike price on captive shippers like electric utilities, chemical and agricultural companies in order to improve profitability of the struggling railroad industry. The Senate Commerce Committee headed Sen. John D. Rockefeller has expressed his opinion that the railroads have become financially stable. An improving U.S. economy, massive surge in automotive shipments, and a sharp rebound in many end markets are expected to fuel the future growth of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Along with all other industries in the U.S., railroads also suffered during the economic downturn. Freight rail is a “derived demand&#8221; industry &#8212; demand for the rail service is tied with demand for the products that the railroads haul. 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. A rise in natural gas prices caused power plants to burn more coal to generate electricity, and most ]]></description>
