Selected Class I railroads stock price 2021
In 2021, Class I railroad stock closing prices fluctuated, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and new policies from the Biden Administration. In July, an executive order (EO) on economic competition was put in place, including provisions requiring rights of way to passenger rail. The measure, with potential to interfere with functioning freight markets, led to a drop in stock prices for Norfolk Southern, CSX, Kansas City Southern, and Union Pacific.
