Railroads are considered a measure of the broader economy since they haul so many products used by consumers and businesses. Kansas City Southern said Tuesday that its revenue rose a modest 1.9 percent and coal shipments slipped, although profit grew because of a restructuring gain. Union Pacific Corp., the biggest railroad in the U.S., is scheduled to report second-quarter results on Thursday. CSX, based in Jacksonville, Fla., operates over 21,000 miles of track in 23 eastern states and two Canadian provinces. It finished the quarter with 34,422 employees, an increase of 4 percent from a year ago. CSX shares, which rose 20 cents to close at $22.79, were up another 11 cents to $22.90 during after-hours trading.
