Manufactures diverse freight railcars and provides rebody, repair, conversion, and replacement-parts services. Its operating base is the vertically integrated Castaños campus in Mexico, serving primarily North American customers.
Manufactures boxcars, covered and open-top hoppers, flat cars, gondolas, coil-steel cars, and coal cars, alongside rebody, repair, conversion, and replacement-parts work. Conversions return idled rail assets to service, while the product range makes the business broader than its former concentration in coal cars.
Operates primarily in North America through a Castaños, Mexico manufacturing campus built to combine lower fixed costs, fast production changeovers, and vertical integration. The business exited leasing and concentrates manufacturing in this campus, with additional facilities in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and Qingdao, China. Demand remains tied to customers’ railcar requirements, while the cost and operating model rests on the Castaños footprint.
