Baier Rail, the inventor of the innovative Single-Bolt Manway system for tank cars, has already
demonstrated that it can meet the requirements of the modern rail tank car market. The

bolt design is a modern solution that increases efficiency and decreases overall costs while
maintaining the high regulatory standards of the AAR. The Single-Bolt manway is AAR
approved with over 500 covers installed.

industry. We’re very much looking forward to working with Baier to usher in this new
