I'd go UNP all day for multiple reasons, with really the only knock would be the P/E comparison
ROIC, which I value very highly:
UNP: 14.6%
NSC: 9%
Chowder #:
UNP: 29.1%
NSC: 12.7%
Payout Ratio:
UNP: 33%
NSC: 34.1%
P/E:
UNP: 20.8
NSC: 17.6
I ran the 3 head to head in my quant screener and they came out 1) UNP 2) NSC 3) CNI with scores of 68.9, 65 and 63.55 respectively
