Our team offers a range of services backed by experienced engineers and years of industry knowledge, all focused on meeting customer needs.
Every joint, every weld and every detail that comes together to make a Greenbrier railcar is the result of careful consideration and innovative engineering.
Greenbrier continues to improve its railcars, delivering a better product with each design. As new railcars are developed, project engineers and stress analysts work closely together to streamline the design process, improve efficiency and ensure each car meets strict safety and performance standards.
“There are a lot of load requirements and stress requirements that need to be met in order to travel cargo safely over rail,” said Product Development Engineer Christoff Hettiger.
That technical expertise is applied across Greenbrier’s operations. The engineering team brings a deep understanding of each railcar type, allowing designs to be tailored to specific uses, operating conditions and customer requirements.
Engineering at Greenbrier is closely connected to manufacturing and service teams. When work is completed and a common issue is identified, engineering and plant teams collaborate to determine what needs to change. Feedback from maintenance centers and field service crews is also shared with engineers, helping refine designs based on real-world performance.
Together, these practices reflect how Greenbrier approaches engineering excellence. By continuously learning, improving and collaborating across teams, Greenbrier engineers help strengthen each railcar and support a safer, more reliable rail industry.
