Is there a railroad companies ETF?

Question

Is there a railroad companies ETF?

Answer 1

I don't think there is. The nearest one is probably runs off  DJ Transportation Index.

The two largest constituents are Burlington Northern Sante Fe and Unioin Pacific but it also includes FedEx and UPS.

Answer 2

Use Morningstar.com's screening tool for ETFs.

Answer 3

Considering that there are only 4 major U S railroads and only 2 Canadian railroads, there really are not sufficient variety for an ETF.  You could start your own personal ETF like fund by buying some of each.  The brokerage commission would be a little expensive but once you had them, you can hold them as long as you like.  And here is a plus.  You would not have to worry about being over concentrated on high priced railroads like most ETFs are overconcentrated on high priced stocks since they are capitalization weighted.

Here are the 4 U S railroads

NSC   69.61

BNI   96.91

UNP 77.45

CSX 63.17

and the Canadian rails

CP 62.11

CNI  52.36

You could buy about 5 shares of each, maybe only 4 shares of BNI since it sells for more than the others.  The total would come to around $2000.

Answer 4

Your question is worded very strangely, but do you mean Emerging Mkts Telecomnc Fund? Their ticker is ETF.
