Need a place to park railcars between leases, during market transitions, or while your operation ramps up or down? RTEX connects equipment owners and lessees with storage capacity across a growing network of short line railroads, industrial facilities, and partner providers.
RTEX is building a network of railcar storage partners — short line railroads with available track capacity, shippers with excess siding space, and purpose-built storage providers — that allows us to offer competitive per diem storage rates for clients who need to park equipment.
Whether you have surplus fleet capacity, cars coming off lease, or equipment waiting for the next deployment, RTEX sources and manages storage arrangements on your behalf. We handle the coordination, documentation, and provider relationships so you do not have to.
Storage is available for most standard freight car types including covered hoppers, gondolas, open-top hoppers, flatcars, tank cars, boxcars, and locomotives.
Need to park cars quickly between deployments or during a short gap in service? RTEX sources spot storage on short notice through our network of short line and facility partners.
For longer-term storage needs, RTEX negotiates extended agreements with per diem rates that reflect the duration and volume of equipment being stored. Predictable monthly cost, no surprises.
Coming off a long-term lease? Repositioning fleet between customers or commodities? RTEX manages the storage phase of fleet transitions, keeping cars safe and accounted for until the next placement.
RTEX maintains relationships with storage providers across multiple regions. We match your equipment to available capacity based on location, car type, quantity, and required access frequency.
Know where your stored cars are and what condition they are in. RTEX provides regular status updates and coordinates any required inspections or condition checks during the storage period.
Storing cars is only useful if you can get them in and out efficiently. RTEX handles the switch coordination, billing, and railroad interface needed to move equipment to and from storage locations.
Car type, quantity, approximate location, duration, and any access requirements. The more detail you provide, the faster we can match you to available capacity.
We reach out to our network of short line, industrial, and facility storage partners to identify available capacity that fits your requirements and timeline.
Once a location is confirmed, RTEX documents the arrangement, coordinates the move-in, and manages the ongoing storage relationship on your behalf.
