The Oregon-based company that builds, maintains and leases freight wagons in North America, Europe and Brazil, booked a record-breaking order in its fiscal fourth quarter that ended in August.


With 15,300 freight wagons ordered, Greenbrier’s facilities will be busy producing new wagons for its markets. Unlike in the 2010s, when the crude-by-rail wave in North America drove demand, this time, orders vary from the point of view of customers and types of wagons.
