edit About to reach peak of rail car purchase cycle

Created when RAIL was $39.46 | Edit | History

Coal railcar business is a cyclical industry with long-life product(~40 yrs), and about 40 years ago there was a big surge in orders, which should/may be replaced right about now(of course "now" maybe in a year or two). Plus the coal is here to stay for at least another 10-15 years(even if alternative fuels attempts will succeed). Most of the growth is expected in 2008/9 - at least based on current backlog orders
