Viper Rail Car Storage offers secure, large-scale storage solutions for unit trains across North America. Whether you’re managing a dedicated train of tank cars, hoppers, or mixed freight, our extensive network of storage sites is equipped to hold entire consists—short-term or long-term—with speed, safety, and full logistical coordination.

Full Consist Storage for Staging or Standby

Unit trains require more than a typical yard—they require capacity, coordination, and clearance. Viper partners with certified short-line railroads and strategically located yards that can accommodate full-length trains and meet Class I interchange requirements.

We support unit train storage for:

  • Tank cars (hazardous or non-hazardous)
  • Covered and open hoppers
  • Gondolas, boxcars, and mixed car sets
  • Agricultural, petrochemical, and bulk industrial commodities

Whether you’re between contracts, preparing for seasonal demand, or repositioning a fleet, we’ll help you store your unit train where and when it makes the most sense.

Nationwide Capacity and Responsive Service

With over 100 storage sites in the U.S. and Canada—including yards with long sidings and unit train handling capabilities—we offer rapid access to key logistics corridors. Our team will coordinate car counts, track availability, switch fees, and routing, so you don’t have to.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Strategic placement near Class I interchanges
  • Daily or take-or-pay pricing models
  • Guaranteed space at select facilities
  • A single point of contact for all movement and coordination
  • 24/7 availability for support

Built for Complex Fleet Management

Managing unit trains requires precision and expertise. Viper acts as a trusted partner—handling complex staging requirements, documentation, billing, and communication—so your operation stays on track. We work closely with leasing companies, Class I carriers, and industrial operators to align every aspect of your unit train’s storage cycle.
