PFL is capable of  scrapping on a mobile basis. <a href=\"https:\/\/pflpetroleum.com\/reports\/pfl-railcar-storage-report-8-7-2020\/08\/07\/2020\/\">Last month\u2019s storage report<\/a> we mentioned the potential for a credit being discussed. There is a new bipartisan act that was introduced that would enable a tax credit for car owners looking to purchase or refurbish existing equipment that \u201c<em>will incentive safer, greener freight railcar manufacturing in the United States<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the new or refurbished equipment will improve capacity or reduce fuel consumption by at least 8%, the bill would give car owners a time limited 50% tax credit. This credit, in tandem with an incentive to scrap cars as mentioned last month, could lead towards big changes in modernizing the existing rail fleet. Stay tuned to PFL for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>If you are need of or have storage available or if you need maintenance, the cleaning of cars or are looking to reposition cars in a cost effective manner, call PFL today!
