WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Despite the lack of direction being shown by the broader markets, railroad stocks have shown a strong move to the upside during trading on Friday.

Kansas City Southern (KSU) and Norfolk Southern (NSC) are turning in two of the railroad sector's best performances in afternoon trading.
