Straightforward and Proven Business Model

Railcar leasing is our core.

BUY the railcar at an

economically attractive and competitively

advantaged price

LEASE the railcar to a

quality customer at an attractive rate for a term that reflects the business cycle

SERVICE the railcar in a manner that

maximizes safety, in-use time and

customer satisfaction

MAXIMIZE the value of the railcar by selling or scrapping at

the optimal time

GATX is a major supplier to the grain industry

• GATX owns ~ 30,000 hopper cars of various types

• Hopper car markets include potash, soda ash, frac sand and grain, among others

• Approximately 10,000 medium cube gravity discharge hoppers in agricultural markets

• Most of GATX’s grain cars operate in the US

• Current customers include Class I railroads, shortlines, grain shippers

• GATX’s participation in Canada has been limited to date due to regulated nature of grain business

• Total Canadian grain fleet is estimated to be ~ 23,000 cars

• Major owners include governments (federal, provincial), G3 as successor to CWB, CN, CP

History of government grain cars

• Between 1972 and 1994, the Canadian federal government bought 13,500 covered hopper cars to carry Western Canada grain to port for export

• Cars were constructed by Hawker Siddeley, Marine Industries and National Steel Car • Cars were 4550 CF, 263K GRL, four

compartment stub sill construction • Round body, low centre of gravity

designed to increase stability on grain branch lines

• Certain cars upgraded to 286K

CTA Review Report highlighted need to renew Canadian grain car fleet

Majority of government and G3 / CWB cars were built in the 1970’s and 1980’s – Over 60 percent of the railway owned / leased fleet cars is of the same

vintage

Most cars must be retired in 2025-30 time period *

– GATX experience has been that cars do not last for full maximum statutory 50-year life

Replacing these cars with newer, more efficient equipment will significantly increase the capacity of the supply chain for Canadian grain and improve reliability – Important benefits for entire supply chain – Stakeholders include producers, shippers, railways, ports

Age of retirement GATX stub sill hopper fleet

GATX has found that older design stub sill cars are rarely economic to repair after 32 years of age.

Canadian grain industry is investing in its supply chain

Canadian grain industry is great success story – Emergence of pulse crops increases export volumes

– Long-term trend to warmer climate may benefit yields

– Current outlook is for 2016-17 crop to be close to record volumes hit in 2013-14 crop year

Major facility investments by new and established players – G3 (successor to Canadian Wheat Board) planning to build mega-terminal in

Vancouver

– Grainsconnect announced intentions to build four new high-throughput elevators in western Canada

– New Parrish & Heimbecker terminal at Port of Hamilton

– Richardson International doubling of capacity in Vancouver

Few investments in hopper cars

The grain car fleet is the weak link in the chain

Page 18: GATX Template 2016 - acpa-ports.net › pr › ACPA Conference 2016 › Bus. Session 3 - G… · Majority of government and G3 / W cars were built in the 1970’s and 1980’s –

18

How would Canada’s ports benefit from replacing the grain car fleet?

Increase in volume – Shorter, larger cars permit unit trains to carry more grain per car, more cars per train – Efficient use of terminal track capacity

Simplified handling – New cars have three compartments instead of four – Fewer gates to handle – Less work at elevators and port terminals

Easier operations – Contemporary gate designs more efficient and easier to operate – Gates on older hopper cars have tendency to leak, can be difficult to operate due to age

and maintenance issues

Improved reliability – Introduction of newer cars would reduce reject rate at all stages of the supply chain

The GATX solution

We believe that a major investment in grain hopper cars is urgently required – At minimum, replacement of the ~ 10,000 cars under all-government

ownership – Total investment cost is approximately $1 billion Canadian, assuming

$100,000 cost per car

GATX believes that this investment should be made by the private sector – GATX has a strong balance sheet and would be able to make an

investment of this scale

Government has an important role in creating an environment that

encourages and facilitates this investment – Requires adjustments to railways’ Maximum Revenue Entitlement

(MRE) for export grain – Transition plan for government-owned fleet

How can you help?

If grain car fleet renewal is important to you, please speak up!

– Transport Canada is formally seeking input until September 16, 2016.

Transport policy (Minister Garneau’s “New Vision”) and CTA-related discussions are continuing this fall

Transport Canada is engaged in the issue but need to hear from more parties

– Important to share “on the ground” stories of issues and problems with the aging government fleet

Participation of all stake-holders is key to moving this issue forward.
