The most comprehensive view of the rail equipment landscape

FTR 2022 Subscriptions Product Sublogos_light version_Rail Equipment Outlook

 

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

Companies that understand this are rewarded with balanced books, smooth production schedules, and the right amount of inventory. Those who don't get it live in reactionary chaos, leading to stressed employees, unnecessary inventory carried from month to month, and leaving money on the table.

Our Rail Equipment Outlook service is the definitive guide to forecasting demand for new rail cars.
