Time to get some Ching Ching in the Choo Choo's.

Why Warren Buffett is buying railroads
To continue paying his Secretary low steady wages so her tax rates are higher.
Raising Buffetts tax rates won't help her pay the mortgage before foreclosure, but lowering income tax rates would.
Go Hillary! Right Warren?

actually it is not so suprising. Multimodal transportation has really be growing. The real change has been the collapse of the unions. You now have the containerization of train transport which parallels ship transport. Notice how box cars are a disappearing phenomenon.
Now we just need trucking to fully containerize and we have lower costs.

Too bad America has lost over 50% of the rail lines we once had. With fuel prices skyrocketing trucking is becoming too expensive for the long haul.
I see a lot of coal and fertilizer, and grain and ethanol moving by rail. Sounds like a good investment.
