[QUOTE="pickup, post: 931202"] We once discussed this in another thread: [url]http://www.browncafe.com/forum/f6/non-ups-feeder-trailers-230543/[/url] Tie said in this thread :we own the fstz and cfkz trailers too. For the most part the railroad got out of the leasing business. There are a few spots where they still rent them out but not many. and JimJimmyJames said:To those not familiar with railroad terminology, letters like FSTZ, CFKZ, etc. are reporting marks used to identify ownership of equipment used on railroads. Marks that end in Z denote that the equipment is a trailer. Marks that end in U denote a container. Since I am a railroad buff I have researched who owns the trailers associated with the reporting marks on our trailers. I have found that: UPSZ; quite obviously UPS. MARZ; Martrac, a UPS company. FSTZ; Fastrac. I believe tieguy is correct in stating that UPS has ownership in this company. SCSZ; Supply Chain Solutions. This sounds like another company we probably own. CFKZ; XTRA. This is interesting because this is the only reporting mark that seems to be obviously owned by another company. PKGZ; The only information I have found is that it is owned by TIP. You would think that we would own it since pkgz seems like an obvious abbreviation for package. And when I think package I think UPS :) . I think bluehdmc is on to something when he states that we are probably into long term leasing arrangements on some of these trailers. TIP and XTRA would most likely be our partners in these arrangements since they are huge leasing companies. I also think tieguy is correct in that the railroads have for the most part got out of the trailer leasing business. Though they do lease container/chassis to us on occasion as the CSX boxes I see in our yards attest to. [/QUOTE]
