The deal also includes a payment of up to $18.6 million if certain conditions are met over the next two years. Genesee & Wyoming plans to finance the transaction under its $225 million senior revolving credit agreement.

The acquisition, which is expected to immediately add to earnings per share, is targeted to close on June 1.
