In plain English
GATX buys railcars from builders like Trinity and Greenbrier and leases them — a fleet of ~152,000 tank and freight cars — to the shippers who move chemicals, petroleum, food and grain. It owns the assets, not the freight: customers pay recurring rent while GATX maintains the cars. It runs the same model in Europe and India, and co-owns RRPF, one of the world's largest lessors of spare jet engines, in a 50/50 venture with Rolls-Royce.
