TRAC Lease is the chassis management subsidiary of container leasing giant Interpool. They have a fleet of over 200,000 chassis of various lengths. The TRAC Lease fleet is operated separately from the Interpool container fleet so it is common for other lessor boxes to ride these chassis.

Road Name History: The TRAC story truly began in 1968 with the formation of Interpool Limited. The company started as a container leasing company that provided dry freight containers under long-term leases to the world’s largest shipping lines. In 2010, around the time Ocean Carriers began divesting chassis and getting out of the chassis provisioning business, the company was again renamed – this time as TRAC Intermodal, also known simply as TRAC. Today, TRAC is the largest provider of marine and domestic intermodal equipment throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
We have more than 700 employees in more than 22 locations throughout the United States.
Our active fleet consists of approximately 180,000 marine chassis.

Brand/Importer Information: DeLuxe Innovations is a "wholesale manufacturer" of model trains. We manufacture scale replica train models and sell them to hobby shops and distributors worldwide. 2013 marked the 20 year anniversary of DeLuxe Innovations brand trains. There are over 25 body styles in our product line and all of the cars in our single and multi-car packs have different road numbers. DeLuxe Innovations, Inc. is owned by Dave Ferrari, founder of Squeak N Products. We are located in Midland Park, New Jersey. When Dave purchased the business it was located in Burbank, California which would have been a bit of a long commute so the move to the East Coast was planned. Our first East Coast location was in Whippany, NJ along the Whippany River.

The business was started in 1993 by George Johnsen and Roberta Liebreich in Burbank, California. They had a philosophy that just wouldn't allow using a coal car as a "stand in" for a woodchip car, or printing any and all boxcar paint schemes on a PS-1. Starting with the release of the first ever etched metal parts for a ready to run car (1994's Twinstack's metal walkways) through the full dimension underframe and etched metal roofwalk (1996's 1944 AAR Boxcar) to the challenging RoadRailer system (2000), our products have been accurate to target the modeler or enthusiast.
