Warren Buffett Is Still Riding the Rails

<>
<> As evidence of a bullish long-term outlook for railroads, Warren Buffet's Berskshire recently increased its stake in Burlington Northern (BNI) and the CEO of Kansas City Southern (KSU), Michael Haverty, appeared on Larry Kudlow's show on CNBC Thursday evening, stating that rail transport was showing continued strength in the transport of coal, chemicals, and grains with weakness in the transport of consumer goods and housing related commodities. Berkshire paid $79.65 each to add 825,000 shares of BNI, upping its stake in ...

FreightCar America (RAIL) makes railroad freight cars with an emphasis on cars that carry coal. It is a Chicago-based company that has manufacturing facilities in Illinois, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Sometimes a company faces a perfect storm and gets squeezed on all sides. This is what is happening to RAIL right now. Demand is slowing down due to the economy being in the pits and material costs are going through the roof at the same time. The company said it is having a tough time passing along its costs to customers. It is forced to pay surcharges on its raw materials.
