TTX Company provides the railroad industry with a fleet of reliable, high quality railcars to meet the specific needs of their rail customers. Our goal is to supply well-maintained equipment wherever needed at the lowest cost possible, while permitting financing of equipment on reasonable terms. To accomplish this goal we must size our fleet in a prudent manner, balancing new equipment acquisitions with innovative modifications and upgrades to the existing fleet. Our fleet of over 210,000 railcars consists of three major types:intermodal, autorack and general use. Three maintenance divisions (Acorn in Jacksonville, Florida; Calpro in Mira Loma, California; and Hamburg in North Augusta, South Carolina) perform various types of car repair and modification work, while thirty-one Field Maintenance Operations (FMOs) perform inspections and less extensive repairs to our fleet. The leading railroads in the U.S. and Canada, which are our primary customers, own all the common stock of TTX. Our car contracts and pooling agreements are subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation's Surface Transportation Board.
