Why Choose RTEX for Freight Cars

30+ Years of Industry Relationships

RTEX was built on long-term relationships with shippers, operators, and rail networks across North America. When you need a specific car type or GRL rating, our network gets it done.

Flexible Lease Structures

We offer modified full-service leases where RTEX handles running repairs, and net lease options where you take on maintenance in exchange for a lower rate. Terms structured around your operating cycle, not ours.

Multiple GRL Ratings & Configurations

Not all freight cars are 286GRL. RTEX carries equipment across multiple gross rail load ratings and configurations — we match the right spec to your route and commodity, including AAR car type and gate configuration.
