Railroad Technology Corporation
Finance & Leasing
Since 1986, Railroad Technology Corporation has structured and originated freight car leases across Class I railroads, regional carriers, and industrial shippers. Whether you are a fleet owner seeking liquidity, a shipper requiring purpose-built equipment, or an investor deploying capital into rail assets, we bring four decades of transaction experience to every deal.
Lease Origination
We originate net leases on new and remanufactured freight cars — from general-purpose 89-foot flush-deck flatcars at $750/month NET on five-year terms to high-value specialty cars commanding premium daily rates. Our origination process covers car specification, lessee qualification, lease documentation, and AAR/FRA regulatory compliance from first contact through car delivery.
Sale-Leaseback Programs
Railroad Technology Corporation will purchase your existing fleet and lease it back to you or to a qualified third-party shipper following remanufacturing. Sale-leasebacks free up capital tied in aging equipment while keeping the cars in productive service under a structured term. We have executed sale-leaseback transactions ranging from single specialty cars to multi-hundred-car general-purpose fleets.
Fleet Disposition & Asset Monetization
For owners of off-lease, obsolete, or surplus car types, we provide a full disposition solution — remarketing to active shippers, remanufacturing to extend economic life, or coordinated scrapping when retirement is the right outcome. Our market relationships with Class I and regional railroads ensure competitive pricing and rapid execution on both the buy and sell side.
Transaction Track Record
Our historical strong suit is structuring transactions that work for all parties. A representative example: 235 new 89-foot multi-purpose flush-deck cars originated at $750/month NET on a five-year term — a total new-car-cost-basis transaction value of approximately $32 million. From single-car specialty deals to large fleet programs, the track record speaks for itself.
