Demand is up for containers, and the railcars to ship the containers to ports.

I would guess the type of railcars are the flat bed railcars used to transport the containers.

I see increased business for Freightcar America, Greenbrier, and Trinity here. Also, the Chinese and Indian railcar producers will increase production here.

The railroads that will do well are Kansas City Southern, Burlington Northern and Union Pacific. These railroads' hinderland is in the Midwest and plains states (Texas too) where hogs and cattle are raised.

Thanks for your input.
