“Established about three years ago, the firm focuses on acquisitions, investments and strategic partnerships within that window. Rail + Industrial Partners seeks to invest in operating entities (such as railroads and transload facilities), rail-served industrial real estate assets and rail services in North America to foster seamless integrated solutions.
Managed by a team of entrepreneurial veterans from the rail and industrial development industries, the company seeks to acquire or gain a stake in Class I spin-offs, short lines, private industrial rail divestitures, independent rail service operators, rail-served industrial parks and real estate.
The firm’s approach “creates a huge runway for growth” through partnerships with Class Is, short lines, and other transportation and development stakeholders, says Tim Eklund, a Rail + Industrial Partners founder and managing partner. “
