Whether you’re looking for short-term relief during network congestion or long-term fleet staging across multiple regions, Viper Rail Car Storage offers flexible storage options tailored to your timeline, location, and operational goals. With the largest network of railcar storage sites in North America, we provide dependable solutions for every storage duration—from days to years.

Short-Term Railcar Storage

Short-term storage is ideal for temporary holds, seasonal inventory surges, or network imbalances. Our short-term customers often need storage for:

  • Construction, maintenance, or plant turnarounds
  • Excess inventory during slowdowns
  • Contingency planning or overflow situations
  • SIT (Storage-In-Transit) staging for customers

Benefits of Short-Term Storage:

  • Flexible day-to-day rates
  • Fast inbound-to-storage and release times
  • Access to locations near major industrial centers
  • No long-term commitment required

Long-Term Railcar Storage

Long-term storage is designed for fleets that need to be held out of service, strategically staged for future delivery, or secured while awaiting reassignment or sale.

We work with asset managers, leasing companies, and Class I operators to design efficient long-term storage plans that reduce carrying costs while maintaining car integrity.

Benefits of Long-Term Storage:

  • Lower daily rates based on extended commitments
  • Guaranteed space availability over time
  • High-security storage locations
  • Strategic regional distribution for faster future redeployment

Which Option Is Right for You?

If you’re unsure which type of storage best suits your fleet, we’ll walk you through a customized assessment. In many cases, customers use a blend of short- and long-term storage—staging some cars for quick release and others for extended hold.
