A Global Railroad ETF Proposal: A New Way For Investors To Ride The Rails

My proposed Global Railroad ETF (click on image for full-screen view) includes 28 stocks from worldwide markets with a minimum market cap of $250 million and includes companies from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. CSX ( CSX ) was the best performing domestic railroad in the fund, producing over a 40% return in the last year, including dividends. Rather than trying to pick individual stocks in the railroad industry, my Global Railroad ETF would provide investors with a single investment vehicle that is globally diversified and leveraged to the transport of agricultural and energy commodities.
