Helped by liberal depreciation schedules and favorable tax rulings, rail profits last year achieved a six-year high of $651 million, should climb at least another $50 million this year, if only because the Supreme Court's ruling against featherbedding will lower labor costs. Traffic is also rising. So far this year, the roads have carried 5% more freight than in the same period...
