I doubt this thread will be heavy traffic, but it seems like it might be a place to throw up sector specific ideas, and perhaps ask a question now and then, like right now. 
I purchased a few UNP shares last fall, so now I am paying closer attention. I see Burlington Northern and Canadian Pacific locomotives daily. I see rail cars from every brand imaginable. I know the railroads operate in regions, and rails maintain their own tracks. The regionality seems restrictive. I assume they drop cars at a railhead and another rail company might hook up and finish the delivery on their main routes? Or did I just make that all up?
