The most real-time view of the ever-evolving railcar landscape

FTR 2022 Subscriptions Product Sublogos_light version_Rail Equipment Monthly Service

 

The economy generates freight, and freight drives demand for new rail cars.

But that's only part of the story!

Exorbitant commodity costs and excess capacity have altered the fundamental buying cycles for new railcars in this new economy. Fleet owners are creatively leveraging existing assets to mitigate the high prices of new cars. If you aren't paying attention to what's happening within each fleet in real-time, your forecasts will never be as accurate as they need to be.
