<strong>US</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> <strong>Advises</strong> on $5MM Equity Raise for Food by Rail
San Francisco-based private financial group supports the launch and growth of a nationwide
environmentally focused logistics and food transportation company.
San Francisco, CA, <strong>US</strong>A., November 30, 2017 -- <strong>US</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> Partners Inc. (“<strong>US</strong> <strong>Capital</strong>”) has
been engaged by Food by Rail Logistics Holdings, Inc. (“Food by Rail”) as its exclusive financial
adviser for a $5 million Series-A preferred equity raise for the firm. Food by Rail will use the new
financing to fund the launch, growth, and development of the company.
Headquartered in San Francisco, <strong>US</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> is a full-service private financial group committed to

Food by Rail intends to provide state-of-the-art refrigerated boxcars for transporting food and
beverages primarily by rail with a unique stacking system to use more cube capacity. According to a
recent report, on average trains are four times more fuel efficient than trucks. The report goes on to
say that moving freight by rail instead of truck lowers greenhouse gas emissions by 75%. Finally,
trains reduce highway gridlock and emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides.
Marcus S. Kostolich, Founder, President and CEO of Food by Rail, commented: “We are entering a
multi-billion-dollar transportation and logistics market for frozen and refrigerated protein, produce,
packaged foods, and beverage as a third-party logistics provider with refrigerated boxcars and
origin and destination trucking service in North America. We approached <strong>US</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> to raise $5
million pre-revenue funding to launch the company and begin operations starting January 2018. We
were extremely pleased with the first-class service, process, and results.”
“We are delighted to be assisting Food by Rail with its financing needs to launch and develop this
nationwide environmentally focused business,” said Jeffrey Sweeney, Chairman and CEO at <strong>US</strong>
<strong>Capital</strong>. “The opportunity to participate in Food by Rail’s $5 million Series-A financing raise is now
open to eligible investors through our digital investment platform at www.uscgs.com, which offers a
curated selection of private placement opportunities.”
