Engineering

Greenbrier has introduced many new freight car components and railcar types to the market. These include high-cube boxcars, center-partition lumber cars, a wide variety of intermodal double-stack container cars, and Auto-Max®, a flexible, two-unit articulated railcar designed to carry automobiles on either two or three levels.

Greenbrier engineers have spearheaded advances in intermodal, double stack and center partition technology for more than 15 years. They combine a wealth of experience and expertise in design, analysis and railcar production that goes way beyond drafting and testing. By working closely with production, our team of engineers are changing the way railcars are designed and built - throughout the industry.
