Viper Rail Car Storage offers flexible and efficient Storage-In-Transit (SIT) solutions designed to meet the dynamic needs of shippers, fleet managers, and logistics coordinators across North America. Whether you’re holding product between origin and final delivery or staging railcars for customer readiness, our SIT-ready facilities give you control, visibility, and speed.

What Is Storage-In-Transit (SIT)?

Storage-In-Transit (SIT) is a strategic rail logistics solution that allows shippers to temporarily store railcars mid-route—delaying final delivery without losing visibility or control. SIT is commonly used by companies in the petrochemical, plastics, energy, and manufacturing sectors to:

  • Stage product closer to customer locations
  • Manage seasonal surges in demand
  • Improve supply chain flexibility
  • Avoid demurrage or congestion at receiving sites

Nationwide SIT-Ready Storage Yards

Viper partners with certified short-line railroads across the U.S. and Canada to offer SIT-enabled storage yards near major industrial corridors and Class I railroad interchanges.

Our SIT locations provide:

  • Fast access to customer markets
  • Strategic staging options across multiple regions
  • Short-term holds without impacting transit windows
  • Compliance with carrier SIT programs and waybilling requirements

SIT Storage Tailored to Your Fleet
