Avalon Rail Inc. is a passenger railcar restoration and rebuilding company in West Allis, Wisconsin, United States, a community near Milwaukee. June Garland is the company's president.
The company was founded in 2000 by former employees of Northern Rail Car Corporation, a railcar manufacturer then owned by William E. Gardner, who also owns the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad.[1][2]
The company is interested in subcontracting assembly work from manufacturers such as Talgo.[3]
In October 2009, it was awarded a contract by Via Rail Canada for rebuilding eight Château sleeping cars and four Park sleeper-dome-lounge cars originally built by the Budd Company.[4]
