Railway Equipment Prospects Ease Amid 1976 Slump
The 1976 railroad equipment deliveries fell to 52,665 units, down 27 percent from 1975.

Leading manufacturers broadened into leasing and related services to offset equipment-cycle volatility. Babson’s recommends ACF Industries, GATX, Pullman for hold positions and Trans Union for long-term growth.
