Genesee & Wyoming Canada, a subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming, has completed the acquisition of BMS Locomotive Service Group.
With a shop, warehouse and office headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, BMS has offered locomotive inspection, maintenance, and refurbishment and repair services to freight railroads across Western Canada for more than 20 years. The operation has 10 employees.
“The addition of BMS enhances G&W Canada’s suite of services for customers throughout Canada and expands its footprint into a geography that has potential for tremendous industrial growth,” said Rocky Hartline, general manager of G&W Canada’s western operations. “The BMS team’s locomotive expertise, as well as their shared commitment to safety and service, make them an ideal fit for G&W.”
G&W’s Canadian operations include 10 railroads, railcar loading and switching services, as well as a railcar maintenance and repair facility in Ontario.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
