barrons3	What else is working? Recovery names like Caterpillar (CAT), 3M (MMM), Emerson Electric (EMR), Union Pacific (UNP) and Visa (V).	Love	November 19, 2009
barrons3	As the economy gradually recovers, Cramer says, railcar traffic will increase. After all, this mode of transport has proved itself the best for bringing goods to market. Union Pacific, the biggest US railroad company, which has great exposure to Chinese demand, is the best way to play the trend. The stock’s cheap, too, and it “should be able to work its way higher for several years to come.”	Love	October 22, 2009
bsharkody	Buy between 40 and 45	Love	September 15, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"To which I say, live by the Chinese sword, buy by the Chinese sword. On days like today I hope the futures take Procter (PG) and Altria (MO) down -- two companies with little and no exposure in China. I have to see if Union Pacific (UNP) will let me back in, or maybe 3M (MMM). No hope that Freeport (FCX) will ever get back to where I want it." <a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=eee659ca-49f7-42c3-ab43-9c760097f08a" target="_blank">"Buy the China Selloff," Aug. 31, 2009</a>	Love	September 01, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"I'm a big backer of the rails, but the rails trade with China. I prefer Union Pacific (UNP), that's been on my list." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10583101/1/mad-money-lightning-round-ride-disney.html" target="_blank">"Mad Money Lightning Round," Aug. 19</a>	Love	August 20, 2009
barrons3	There are many others like this: Procter & Gamble (PG), Union Pacific (UNP), 3M (MMM), Coca-Cola (KO, Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T). All of them needed to be crushed today and stay crushed; you had to sell the puts or risk letting 'em go out worthless, given this close.	Love	August 20, 2009
barrons3	China's in charge, but China's "in-charge-ness" is all about Bucyrus (BUCY) and CSX (CSX) and Joy Global (JOYG) and Caterpillar (CAT) and Union Pacific (UNP) and oil and Freeport (FCX) and Potash (POT). It's all about the old hedge fund stocks.	Love	August 20, 2009
barrons3	I do love the linkage between BHP Billiton (BHP) and China, and I get the Union Pacific (UNP) linkage and the Potash (POT) linkage. But some of the other stocks that will come down today off of China are harder for me to figure out.	Love	August 20, 2009
barrons3	Today's when the overload dawns on you. I am frantically looking at how 3M (MMM) made the quarter, how Apple (AAPL) finally moved the needle for AT&T (T), and how Union Pacific (UNP) was still able to cut costs even further, all the while re-evaluating the tech earnings from last night and the negative Pepsi (PEP) story -- which I disagree with -- in The Wall Street Journal.	Love	July 23, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"This is the rail that I own for my trust and I give it a triple-buy." <a href="XXX" target="_blank">"'Mad Money Lightning Round': Take a Ride on Union Pacific," 6-12-09</a>	Love	June 15, 2009
barrons3	When I see so many breakouts, it is hard to resist buying, especially when stocks go up on bad news like 3M (MMM) and Union Pacific (UNP) did this week.	Love	April 30, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"I like Union Pacific (UNP) but they're all better than yours." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10492906/1/mad-money-lightning-round-honeywells-a-steal.html" target="_blank">"Mad Money Lightning Round," 4-28-09</a>	Love	April 29, 2009

barrons3	On the stocks of companies whose managers have retracted earnings guidance, buy straddles. This entails buying a put and a call that have the same strike price and expiration date. If the stock price rises or falls, the straddle could increase in value. This is a good strategy for Molex (MOLX), Johnson Controls (JCI), Applied Materials (AMAT), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Leggett & Platt (LEG), Fortune Brands (FO), Coventry Healthcare (CVH), BJ Services (BJS) and Union Pacific (UNP).	Love	April 18, 2009
SkyRocket	They still have two steam engines running.	Love	April 15, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	If the Baltic Freight Index seems to go down every day, then why is FedEx (FDX)still going higher? If Ryder's (R) getting hammered, why isn't United Parcel Service ()? Why are the rails still higher when YRC Worldwide (YRCW) can't get out of its own way? Do you know that CSX (CSX) and Union Pacific (UNP) just had nice moves and they aren't giving them up? Maybe all of these moves are just plain false. You simply can't get stocks to stay up if things are as bleak as the Baltic indicates. It is too predictive.

barrons3	The ideal portfolio for right now? Apple (AAPL), 3M (MMM), Freeport McMoRan (FCX), Potash (POT) and Union Pacific (UNP). On deck: Google (GOOG), Whirlpool (WHR), Fluor (FLR) and Sears (SHLD). Who the heck's long that? I know many more people who are short 'em!	Love	April 02, 2009
barrons3	Federal Express (FDX), UPS (UPS), Norfolk Southern (NSX), Union Pacific (UNP), you name it. There's such an unbelievable amount of pressure from this group, one that I still respect as a tell on things. If we had them reverse and start going higher, it would at least give me a sense that the Chinese rally and the Baltic Freight rally are going to eventually affect us.	Love	February 26, 2009
barrons3	I am worried about lots of industrials, but I am looking to buy down here, not sell, including Caterpillar (CAT) and Union Pacific (UNP)UNP. At least to start.	Love	February 12, 2009
Ruggaard Asset Management	Services Alternate: CSX, BNI	Love	December 16, 2008
ceh9876	Higher the fuel prices go, not to mention difficulty of getting fuel, more sese rail makes.	Love	November 28, 2008
stockerblog	PE of 17, a PEG of 0.74, and it pays a yield of 1.6%.	Love	October 09, 2008
barrons3	Four companies among the 20 transportation stocks also delivered dividend enrichments: Burlington Northern (BNI), Landstar System (LSTR), Norfolk Southern (NSC) and Union Pacific (UNP). Burlington Northern and Union Pacific, however, distributed their payouts on the first day of the fourth quarter. And CSX (CSX), FedEx (FDX) and Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG), while paying out more in the third quarter, had all voted their increases in June.	Love	October 04, 2008
barrons2	Coal travels by train: Look out, Union Pacific (UNP) is going to $34 and CSX (CSX) to $30 and Burlington Northern (BNI) to $46. Again, this is if you think rails have created no value and have no particular competitive advantage. Rates would be rolled back and costs are going up, so that would be devastating -- I don't know if these prices are representative, but it is reasonable in the bears' view that nothing was created.	Love	September 11, 2008
Steve Old Boy	Union Pacific operates 32,205 miles of track in the western 2/3 of the U.S. and is the largest railroad in North America, with a $42 billion market cap. It hauls coal (20% of revenue), industrial products (20%), intermodal containers (19%), agriculture goods (17%), chemicals (15%) and automotive (10%). UNP owns 26% of Ferromex (a private consortium that operates Mexico's largest railroad by mileage), and derives more than $1 billion of revenue hauling freight to and from Mexico.	Love	August 17, 2008
High Dividends	23%	Love	August 16, 2008
barrons2	Once the momentum guys turn -- and they are turning on CSX (CSX), Norfolk Southern (NSC), Union Pacific (UNP) and Burlington (BNI) -- they just don't stop. It is terrible to have to sell down 4, but the pattern has been that there is another down-4 day coming tomorrow, and then another, and then still one more ... punctuated by a plus-2 in the middle.	Love	August 14, 2008
barrons2	Keep an eye on CSX Corp (CSX) and Union Pacific (UNP) Najarian counsels. The put buying appears bearish. I think they’re breaking down. As the commodity trade unravelsit could take the rails lower.	Love	August 13, 2008
High Dividends	23%	Love	August 02, 2008
barrons2	Among other major rails, CSX (CSX) has increased its quarterly 46% in two steps this year, to 22 cents a share, while Union Pacific (UNP) in May announced a 2-for-1 stock split and expanded its stock-buyback program; it's likely to up its dividend, too.	Love	July 26, 2008
