Acquisition of Southern Parts & Equipment, Inc. FreightCar America announced the acquisition of Southern Parts & Equipment, Inc., a Monroe, Georgia-based distributor of reconditioned, new, and used railcar parts and equipment. The transaction, funded with cash, represents the company’s second acquisition in the railcar aftermarket segment within the past year. 

A Growing Aftermarket Platform. The acquisition advances RAIL’s strategy of building a larger, more diversified aftermarket business that generates recurring revenue and reduces the cyclicality of new railcar manufacturing. Founded in 1988, SP&E has established a strong reputation serving railcar repair shops and private railcar owners. The transaction expands FreightCar’s customer base, enhances sourcing capabilities, and creates additional cross-selling opportunities across its growing aftermarket platform.
