Genesee & Wyoming Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming Inc., today announced that it has completed the acquisition of BMS Locomotive Service Group Inc. (BMS).

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. BMS has offered locomotive inspection, maintenance, and refurbishment and repair services to freight railroads across western Canada for more than 20 years.

"The addition of BMS enhances G&W Canada’s suite of services for customers throughout Canada and expands its footprint into a geography that has potential for tremendous industrial growth," said Rocky Hartline, general manager of G&W Canada’s western operations, in a press release. "The BMS team’s locomotive expertise, as well as their shared commitment to safety and service, make them an ideal fit for G&W."

G&W’s Canadian operations include 10 railroads and rail-car loading and switching services, as well as a rail-car maintenance and repair facility in Ontario.
