Asset Portfolio Management
Asset Acquisition and Divestiture
We represent a wide range of clients seeking to acquire and dispose of rail container equipment and other assets. Guided by equity research, we match buyers and sellers in secondary markets. Typically our experts work with banks or shippers to assist with everything from evaluating engineering specifications to negotiating price. We also help bank investors who want to own the assets for tax shelter purposes. Equipped with a strong network of longstanding relationships, Carrbridge is well positioned to locate assets in the marketplace.

We act as agents for investors, railroads, shippers, global shipping lines, banks and private equity, providing up-to-date advice on market penetration, current rental rates and returns, the state of the market, the outlook post-pandemic, and more. To do this effectively requires keeping an eye on a dynamic marketplace with many players and a host of moving parts. That’s where our years of industry experience and vast network comes into play. We work hard to understand your needs, and we’re here to serve you 24/7.
Operations Management and Regulatory
Managing a railcar fleet is a complex process that requires deep knowledge and precision. As rail freight professionals, we’ve worked with some of the largest shippers and rail fleets in the business, and we can develop an equipment management plan that meets your needs. This might include everything from originating and managing leases to managing railcar maintenance, maintaining a pulse on industry rules and regulations, properly sizing the fleets, and negotiating freight rates. We have the skills and depth to originate and manage per diem leases.
