At RTEX, we believe every customer matters. Whether you need 10 railcars or 200, we provide
the same level of attention, trust, and commitment. Founded by Gil and Grant Gibbs after more
than 30 years in the rail industry, RTEX was built to bring transparency, reliability, and
solutions to a business that can often feel difficult to navigate.
As a family owned, privately held lessor, we pride ourselves on long-term relationships — not
just deals. Our connections and reputation allow us to find railcars when others can’t, and our
broad customer base means we can place equipment in the market no matter the cycle.
Flexible lease terms and competitive pricing, supported by our ability to source equipment across car types: covered hoppers, gondolas, flat cars, tank cars, open-top hoppers, locomotives, and more.
From fleet evaluations to repair programs and end-of-life planning, we help customers decide which railcars to keep, sell, or upgrade — and we connect them with buyers when the time is right.
Need to know the true condition or value of your railcars? RTEX helps schedule inspections and provides reliable appraisals so you can buy, sell, or manage with confidence.
Moving product by rail can be complex. We help shippers design efficient routes, troubleshoot problems, and navigate Class I connections so commodities reach their destination reliably.
