New activities have appeared in Russia as a result of the structural reform of the railway industry. Operation of rolling stock is one of them. Operator companies have assumed this function, but now there is a surplus of rolling stock in the transport market. There is a need to develop methods and algorithms to improve the efficiency of this activity. The aim of this work is to analyze the activities of the owners of rolling stock, their organizational structure, the situation on the transport services market and identify directions for business diversification.

Technological outsourcing as a way of diversification was presented in the final part of the work. It enhances the quality of the operators' services.
