About The Rail Exchange™
A modern online marketplace built specifically for the railroad industry
Who We Are
The Rail Exchange™ is a modern online marketplace built specifically for the railroad industry. We connect buyers, sellers, contractors, and rental companies through a centralized platform designed for transparency, safety, and real-time deal flow.

Why We Built This Platform
The rail industry has relied on outdated listing websites, spreadsheets, and private networks for decades. This results in:
- Limited visibility
- Outdated inventory
- Slow communication
- Buyer uncertainty
- Fraud/scam risks
- No standardized verification
- No central place to compare options
The Rail Exchange™ solves these problems by providing a modern, secure, industry-focused environment built for speed, trust, and efficiency.
A Marketplace Built on Trust
We use identity verification, business verification, and fraud-detection systems to help protect buyers and sellers. Every inquiry is delivered free, and communication is handled through our safe messaging platform to prevent scams and protect sensitive information.
The goal: A legitimate, transparent marketplace the industry can rely on.
