Unmatched Financial Expertise

Traditional financial institutions lack a deep, sophisticated understanding of the rail industry. GATX's Rail Structured Finance Group combines industry knowledge and flexible financing options that can be tailored to meet your needs.

Whether it is structuring, valuation or financing to meet pressing needs, or to capitalize quickly on a business opportunity, assessing future residual values is often beyond the scope of their experience. At GATX, we offer unique insights born of our asset knowledge, long operational history and broad industry experience to help our customers meet their challenges. GATX is adept at operating leases, structuring fleet purchases and leasebacks, joint ventures and partnerships. We have worked with elite investment partners across the globe to put our knowledge, experience and expertise to work for our rail industry customers.


GATX offers a variety of leases and financing alternatives:

  • Full-service leases including maintenance, repairs, inspections, painting, lining and more.
  • Net leases are available for customers who do not need a full-service program.
  • Sale/leaseback options where we purchase all or some of your fleet and lease the locomotives or railcars back to you on a net lease or full-lease service basis.
