The Name To Know, The Company To Trust.
Equipment and logistics. Technology and market analytics. Innovative and grounded by stability of purpose and clear mission. Diversity of skills and expertise. This is TTX.
Since 1955, TTX has been a unique and creative provider to the rail industry. We are privately-owned by North America's leading railroads and were created to provide them a pool of railcars that do not require the railroads to spend scarce capital to sustain extra fleets of railcars. We proudly sustain and build on this heritage today, owning and managing a fleet of more than 200,000 flat cars, boxcars and gondolas that move intermodal containers, automobiles, lumber, machinery, building materials, steel and other commodities across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Pooling of railcars affords railroads the flexibility to respond to changing market conditions and enables them to meet demand without needing to invest in redundant equipment. We make that investment on the industry’s behalf, promoting environmentally sound practices and economic efficiency. Unlike cars owned by the individual railroads, TTX Company railcars do not have to be returned empty to the owning railroad after being unloaded by another railroad. Instead, the railcars can be reloaded and transported to any other destination by any railroad. This practice avoids unnecessary fuel waste helping the rail industry strengthen its green footprint.
We invest continuously in equipment research and development, using sophisticated engineering expertise in a number of ways. Our industry-leading technology systems, together with our accounting and financial services expertise, enable TTX Company to offer railcar management services such as AAR repair auditing, shop car tracking and damaged/destroyed car processing. We maintain our railcar fleet to the highest standards continuing a long-term view towards quality, safety and environmental sound practices.
In addition to this vital role as a railcar pool operator, TTX invests in and operates sophisticated industry technology solutions. These solutions improve the quality and timeliness of financial and operating information for managing our business and that we share with our owners to help them manage theirs. Further, TTX is a recognized innovator in the technical design and engineering of railcar components.
