Hottest Railroad Stock: Norfolk Tops Poll
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Last week, users of TheStreet.com made their pick for the railroad stock with the most upside over the coming months.
Voters breezed past bellwether names like Canadian National Railway(CNI), Union Pacific(UNP) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe(BNI), which garnered 12.9%, 18.4% and 20.3% of the vote, respectively, in answer to the question: "Which railroad stock do you think is poised for the biggest bounce over the coming months?" Instead, close to half of the 526 total votes cast were spread over two operations: CSX(CSX) and Norfolk Southern(NSC). In the end, it was Norfolk Southern that slipped ahead in most voters' minds with 26.3% of the vote versus CSX's 22.1%. Friday, Norfolk Southern shares were down nearly 1%, or 45 cents, at $46.19. Since the beginning of the year, shares in the company were losing 1.8%, though they've moved lower by around 33% over the last 12 months. -- Written by Sung Moss in New York Follow TheStreet.com on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.>To order reprints of this article, click here: ReprintsTheStreet Premium Services For Personal Service: 877-471-2967
