PROFILE |
 |
TTX keeps the railroad industry chugging by leasing railcars to railroad companies in the US. Rail companies generally prefer to rent railcars as needed rather than buy them because the cars are often switched and traded along the tracks. With 130,000 railcars, TTX's fleet includes cars designed to carry containers, autos, farm and construction equipment, and lumber and steel products. The company has distribution centers in Illinois and Washington and maintains its fleet through repair centers in 16 US states. TTX is owned by the largest railroads in the US, including #1 Union Pacific and #2 Burlington Northern Santa Fe.
