Rail, by far.   The recent delays of its C series jet have cost Bombardier billions of dollars.   It's a big gamble, stepping up in plane size and going up against the big boys like Boeing etc.   To make money, you have to spend money and revenues from a SUCCESSFUL C series launch would be huge.

But that hasn't happened yet.   So Bombardier is investigating a possible spin-off or partial sale of its rail unit to give it time for its C series launch to happen (no pun intended):  http://business.financialpost.com/news/t...rs-sources
