GATX Corp. now is a part owner of and exclusive rail-car supplier for the Providence and Worcester Railroad Co. (PWRR).
GATX recently entered into a series of agreements with the 545-mile regional through which it will accommodate substantially all of PWRR's car needs and acquire a portion of the railroad's existing freight-car fleet. In addition, the lessor will obtain a 5 percent equity interest in the regional for $5.5 million. GATX initially will lease cars worth $35 million to PWRR in 2008 and 2009.
"The rail-car supply agreement creates a platform for GATX to profitably grow its fleet as P&W grows," said James Earl, GATX executive vice president and chief operating officer, in a prepared statement.
GATX, which leases cars and locomotives, maintains a lease fleet of about 111,000 cars. PWRR operates lines in Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
