I love my railroad oligopolies, and there are only a few huge companies here in U.S. that are controlling the whole sector. It is a very easy business model to understand. The company has been increasing dividend regularly and I believe we will see it to continue.

- Dividend Growth 5yr: 26.2%
- Payout Ratio: 31%
- P/E: 19.8
I purchased 5 shares for the price of $185.70 adding $18.20 to my annual income.
