TTX

TTX is a railcar pooling company. Founded as Trailer Train in 1955 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the subsidiary invested in a new technology - flatcars that would haul highway trailers. More rail carriers soon bought stock as well, and in 1974 they proposed to establish the distribution principles under a "pooling agreement" approved by the federal Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)... TTX is privately-owned by North America's leading railroads and functions as the industry's railcar cooperative, operating under pooling authority granted by the Surface Transportation Board the successor to the ICC. Given TTX's ownership, we seek to maximize railcar efficiency and not margins; TTX is not about pulling profits from the industry but instead about delivering a right-sized, well-maintained fleet, with the lowest possible costs that serve the railroads' customer's needs. And, TTX's members are free to pursue their own car supply strategies too - there is no obligation to use TTX..
