Sell Railcars
Do you have new or used railcars you are ready to sell? Railcar Deals is here to help. We help you sell your used railcar, used tank car, used covered hopper car…you get the idea. Selling railcars isn’t like selling your old second-hand commuter car. Railcars are worth a lot more money. Finding the right clients to purchase your railroad cars is very industry-specific.
Don’t worry about the hassle of selling to strangers. You can sell your railcars yourself, but selling your cars can be difficult. Selling through classified ads or an auction site takes lots of time and patience. You’ll need to take pictures, create a description, list the details you want to be covered in the ad or online listing, and try to manage all of the phone calls and emails from people interested in the railcar. It is a lot of work, and it will take days or weeks to sell your used equipment.
That’s where we step in and take the stress off your shoulders. Our team will find the right company to buy your equipment quickly.

Railroad Cars We Sell
There are many different types of railroad equipment that we can list for sale for you. This list is not all-inclusive, but here are the most common locomotives we list for sale.
Passenger Cars
Used passenger cars sell quickly because there is always a demand for them. Passenger cars are a prevalent type of railroad equipment in the commercial railroad industry. We have many buyers in the market that are looking for passenger cars for their trains.
Tank Cars (Covered Hoppers)
These are most commonly called covered hoppers or open-top hoppers. Covered or top hoppers sell quickly and are used in many railroad services operations that deliver products and inventory across the country. Typically, they carry sand, rock, coal, and petroleum commodities.
Box Cars
Boxcars sell well for two reasons: one, this railroad equipment sells fast because there is always a need for them on the freights and intermodal services. And secondly, if it is an older boxcar, you can sell the steel undercarriage of the railcars at scrap prices. If your box cars are too old and rusted to sell, then you can sell the steel undercarriage for scrap metal price.
Flatcars
Flatcars are designed to carry heavy, wide loads and carry equipment such as large machinery, wood, or steel. This type of railroad equipment is excellent for commercial clients who either buy or lease locomotives for commodity businesses or manufacturers.
