Genesee & Wyoming Adds Mobile, Alabama, Railcar Repair Shop to Its Footprint
Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (G&W) today announced that its previously proposed transaction to partner with Grupo México Transportes (GMXT) as owners of CG Railway, LLC closed on September 30, 2024. As part of this transaction, G&W now independently owns Central Gulf Railcar Services (CGRS), a railcar repair shop located in Mobile, Alabama.
CGRS, which specializes in railcar maintenance and repair, can accommodate up to 90 railcars at a time and offers transload storage for up to 14 railcars.
“With the addition of CGRS, G&W will focus on providing safe and efficient railcar maintenance in the Mobile area, which can assist shippers in managing their railcar fleets throughout the Southeast U.S.,” says Kimberly Thompson, regional vice president of sales and marketing.
CGRS becomes G&W’s third dedicated equipment maintenance and repair operation in North America – with another railcar repair facility located in Ontario, Canada, and a locomotive maintenance shop in Alberta, Canada.
