Compilation and Analysis of Historical Market Values and Lease Rental Rates 1995-Present.
The RailSolutions (RS) Railroad Equipment Historical Database has been compiled and published for the purpose of providing our clients with what we believe is the most comprehensive single source of railcar and locomotive market values and lease rental rates available in the railroad industry. As of January 1, 2021, the base data file contains valuation information on more than 1,000,000 railcars and locomotives. One of the primary objectives in creating the RS Railroad Equipment Historical Database is to extract specific data from our master reference file and present it in a format that is easy to read and interpret. The principals of RS have recorded a huge volume of new and used equipment sale prices, and rental rates on leased railcars and locomotives over a period of more than 30 years.
The Railroad Equipment Historical Database is delivered in an Excel format. The link below contains a representative section of The Database (Section 1 – General Service Boxcars). A subscription includes the Excel and PDF files of the database which are updated every January and July. Actual files are typically released in the first week of February and August. The initial subscription cost is $4,000 with an annual renewal fee of $1,500.
