This means the company is primarily involved in leasing assets—specifically railcars, locomotives, aircraft engines, and tank containers—to other businesses. The Rental & Leasing Services industry includes companies that provide equipment on a rental or lease basis rather than selling it outright, allowing customers to use capital-intensive assets without the burden of ownership. GATX's focus on rail and engine leasing places it within the broader industrials category, which encompasses companies that provide industrial goods and services.
