Yes: rail & transit equipment is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Savannah market.

For rail & transit equipment in Savannah, the first look is usually purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring: that's what most directly closes the gap between net-45 to net-90 on the receivables side and EV component tooling, aerospace super-alloys, port-logistics inventory on the production side. From there, an equipment line as the shop scales into the next contract is a common second step as the shop scales. Compare the full stack on the Savannah programs page.
Realistically, PO financing typically funds in 2–4 weeks once supplier terms are confirmed; factoring on the resulting invoices sets up in 7–14 business days and then funds 24–48 hours per invoice after that. That's the "actually receive money in your operating account" timeline, not the "signed a term sheet" one.
