    Most railroads are at maximum capacity on their tracks. Only now are they starting to add capacity. Wall Street did not look at railroads as a good investment, because they were so capital intensive. But railroads now are able to charge higher rates. Railroads are able to borrow money to increase capacity and the building of more rail lines. In addition funds are coming in the form of public-private partnerships.
