After reorganizations and divestitures, the company operates three divisions: Rail (tank and freight car and locomotive leasing), Specialty (leases, affiliate investments, and loans), and American Steamship Company (a shipping company with a fleet of self-unloading ships operating on the Great Lakes).

Average annual revenue per employee is about $200,000 for small companies and over $300,000 for large companies.
