Rail Investment Banking

A focused and effective way of doing business.

The Rail Investment Banking practice at Raymond James includes Class 1 railroads as well as regional railroads. We have been the sell-side advisor on numerous regional rail M&A transactions and have been an underwriter for capital raises by regional railroads. We also have been the underwriter for capital raises by rail supply companies and have been the sell-side advisor for M&A transactions in this niche. Our commitment to providing senior banker attention and objective advice, along with our dedicated focus on the sector, have contributed to our track record of success.
