buy union pacific over norfolk southern. here is the reasons, first and foremost the rails began a big repricing for new contracts. cycle starting in 2003. we are now in the late innings of this story. it not quite over and union pacific has the most upside from repricing going forward, that's the key metric in the rail business. to understand what is happening here, we need to go to the way back machine when the railroads were federally regulated and the government decided how much they could charge for shipping. they were deregulated but did not change their pricing model. it caused rates to fall from 1980 through 2003. now the rates have been rising, and it's led to a railroad growth in the last decade and gave you multiple year gains. union pacific has rallied 375% over the last nine years and it's not finished. union pacific has 8% of their contracts up for repricing and that is on top of 4% of their contracts that were just repriced. that is how you get upside surprises. norfolk southern, 3% of their contracts are up f

when he was not at sea he lived in norfolk. he had a brother in new orleans and a sister in mississippi. as a sectional conflict heated up he said to friends in virginia, god forbit i should ever have to raise my hand against the south. but when abraham lincoln called out the militia after the confederates attacked fort sumter he expressed approval. his virginia neighbors told him anyone holding this opinion could not continue to live in norfolk. well, then, i can live somewhere else. he decided to move to new york. he told his wife this act of mine may cause years of separation from your family so you must decide quickly whether you will go north or remain here. she went with him. as they prepared to leave, the thin lipped ferigate offered a few parting words to his virginia friends. you fellows will catch the devil before you get through with this business. and as matters turned out they caught a good many devils from ferigate himself. a law passed by the u.s. congress in 1861 gave secretary of the navy, gideon wells authorit
