Railcar Storage
Flexible railcar storage across New York and Pennsylvania.
The LA&L Railroad family offers short- and long-term storage options for loaded and empty railcars across four regional railroads, with access to CSX and Norfolk Southern interchanges.
Storage capacity backed by four short line railroads.
Railcar storage can support seasonal inventory, equipment staging, production interruptions, fleet balancing, and other temporary or long-term operating needs. The right solution depends on the railroad, available track, car type, commodity, and how frequently individual cars must be accessed.
Compare storage options across the railroad family.
Capacity is approximate and changes with current commitments, operating conditions, car type, commodity, and requested access. Hazardous-material storage is subject to railroad review and approval.

All figures are planning estimates rather than guaranteed availability. Final placement is subject to railroad approval, operating requirements, commodity review, and applicable safety requirements.
Flexible options for changing fleet and production needs.
Storage can be structured around a defined project, recurring seasonal demand, temporary operating disruption, or longer-term equipment requirements.
Seasonal and inventory overflow
Stage cars outside a congested facility or manage changes in production, receiving schedules, demand, or customer inventory.
Equipment staging and sequencing
Hold cars before release, delivery, maintenance, transload activity, or another planned operating movement.
Fleet and equipment storage
Evaluate longer-duration options for private cars, leased equipment, surplus capacity, or cars awaiting their next assignment.
The right details help us evaluate space and pricing quickly.
Storage rates and operating options are project-specific. Include the following information when possible:
- 01Number and type of railcars.
- 02Loaded or empty status and the commodity involved.
- 03Hazardous or non-hazardous classification.
- 04Expected arrival date and estimated storage duration.
- 05Origin, destination, interchange route, or preferred railroad.
- 06Whether cars require sequencing, cherry-picking, switching, or periodic access.
Talk with the team about availability and operating requirements.
Jeff and David can help review the requested railroad, car count, commodity, timeframe, interchange path, and access requirements.
