RAIL LEASING
RAIL
RESIDCO is a highly experienced and sophisticated rail investor, providing value to our Lessee’s through both net and full service operating leases. Since 1982 RESIDCO started syndicating and remarketing rail equipment for financial institutions often toward the later years of long term leveraged leases. We have since grown to have our own thriving operating lease business. One can attribute our expanding inner market presence to investing in quality assets, expedited execution, end user market knowledge, extensive technical expertise, financial institution relationships and putting our lessees first.
LOCOMOTIVE LEASING & LOCOMOTIVE SALES
RESIDCO has invested in and remarketed hundreds of locomotives over three decades. We have expertise in Four and Six Axle Locomotive marketplaces. RESIDCO has the skill to acquire assets, manage rebuild projects to customer specifications, and provide a lease structure that meets the needs of our lessees. We have invested in numerous locomotive types, including GP-38-2’s, MP-15’s, SD-75M, and SD-40-2 locomotives, for example.
RAILCAR LEASING & RAILCAR SALES
RESIDCO’s strength is our willingness to take a wide variety of positions in rail car types to serve our customers. We have remarketed, syndicated or invested in thousands of freight cars representing every major car type since we began in 1982. Our fleet of 7000 rail cars includes small, medium and high cube Covered Hoppers for grain, plastics, and other commodities; low and high sided steel Gondolas; 286K high capacity Coal Hoppers and Gondolas; as well as a wide variety of General Purpose Tank Cars & Tank Cars for Acid service.
RESIDCO – A SOPHISTICATED METAL PLAYER
There are many different types of leasing companies in the rail industry. Few are true “metal” players like RESIDCO. Our skill and willingness to acquire freight cars and locomotives without a lease encumbrance set us apart. We often provide fleet optimization outcomes through trading programs. Acquiring a client’s unwanted cars and providing them with alternative equipment that more effectively meets their needs is a trading solution example. We work diligently to repair or modify and place available equipment using our knowledge of the inner lessee marketplace and thereby provide value added to this critical industry.
