Greenbrier and Trinity Industries control ~65% of North American freight car manufacturing — a duopoly for the rolling stock of the world's largest freight rail network The Greenbrier Companies (Oregon-based, ~40% market share) and Trinity Industries dominate North American freight car manufacturing. FreightCar America is a distant third. The combined Greenbrier/Trinity duopoly effectively controls the supply of new boxcars, covered hoppers, tank cars, and intermodal platforms for Class I railroads. Class I railroads are projected to add ~41,000 new cars in 2024 — virtually all from this two-company market. Covered hopper backlogs exceeded 30,000 cars in 2024.
