GATX Project, Red Deer

GATX Rail North America is the premier railcar and locomotive lessor in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

GATX project in Red Deer was awarded to WF in Jan 2023 after one and a half year of extensive bidding process.  WF was selected because GATX’s key individual came down to WF facility after the final bid was submitted and was impressed by WF Shops and WF’s outdoor crane structure and that’s exactly what GATX was looking for.
