9 Ways You Can Own Famous Landmarks
If you're lucky enough to see the Kentucky Derby - standing-room tickets for May's 146th running recently sold for $89 online - you can wager a few bucks and perhaps take away a small profit for your memories. But it's possible to play the Derby another way: as a shareholder. Had you wagered $1,000 a year ago on the owner of Churchill Downs, you'd have $1,487, for a return of nearly 49%. Not bad.You also can own a piece of the storied Empire State Building, deemed one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers, which includes marvels such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Panama Canal and the Chunnel from England to France. Maybe country music's hallowed Grand Ole Opry strikes a chord. Or what about the world's most popular sports franchise?For investors with a yen for a little history along with their returns, we've put together a list of investible famous landmarks and the nine publicly traded companies that own them. Overall, the bull market has been so grand for property and entertainment investors that if the stock collection below were an equal-weighted portfolio, it would have a one-year return of 20.9% and a five-year gain of 85.1%.Not all of our picks have been big winners of late - some are being refurbished as landmarks and as investments, and might be more suited to bargain hunters comfortable with turnarounds. But all of these stocks will give you some bragging rights when you visit the landmark in question. SEE ALSO: Every Warren Buffett Stock Ranked: The Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio

Dow transports dragged down by CSX and Norfolk Southern stocks, as Dow industrials gains
The Dow Jones Transportation Average slumped 12 points, or 0.1%, in morning trading Tuesday, to buck the gains in the broader market indexes, with the shares of East-coast based railroad operators CSX Corp. and Norfolk Southern Corp. the biggest drags. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 39 points, or 0.1%. CSX's stock fell 1.3%, with the 98-cent price decline cutting the Dow transports' price by about 6 points; Norfolk's stock fell 0.5%, and the 95-cent price decline also shaved about 6 points of the Dow transports' price. CSX was downgraded by Deutsche Bank to hold from buy, and the stock price target was lowered to $74 from $82, citing a particular concern over lower coal shipments. In the note, analyst Amit Mehrotra wrote: "Importantly, this downgrade should not be extrapolated more broadly to our U.S. Transportation coverage universe, but rather specifically to Eastern rails (CSX and NSC), which have disproportionate exposure to export coal markets."

Unions Criticize Practice Of Furloughing In The Rail Industry
Some rail unions are becoming more vocal about the rail industry's practice of furloughing employees, saying the cuts in staffing that have resulted because of precision scheduled railroading (PSR) are stretching the workforce too thin. "Mass layoffs have been a disturbing and central component of PSR operations... Railroads may want us to believe these workers are extraneous, but it has become clear that reductions are simply about cutting costs, even if those cuts result in the degradation of safety," said the October 29 policy statement of the Transportation Trades Department (TTD) of the AFL-CIO, which is a coalition of 33 member unions. Furloughing employees is a long-standing practice of the freight railroads and serves as a means of adjusting staffing levels to meet demand.
