Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Interim Financial Statements | Note 1 – Interim Financial Statements The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Greenbrier or the Company) as of February 29, 2024 and for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 have been prepared to reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods indicated. All references to years refer to the fiscal years ended August 31st unless otherwise noted. The results of operations for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending August 31, 2024. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023. Management Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) requires judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Share Repurchase Program – The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase in aggregate up to $ 100.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice and currently has an expiration date of January 31, 2025 . Under the share repurchase program, shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of purchases is based upon market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. During the six months ended February 29, 2024 , the Company purchased a total of 38 thousand shares for $ 1.3 million. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended February 29, 2024. As of February 29, 2024 , the amount remaining for repurchase under the share repurchase program was $ 45.1 million.

These notes were retired on February 1, 2024. (2) The dilutive effect of the 2.875 % Convertible notes due 2028 was excluded for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was considered anti-dilutive. As these notes require cash settlement for the principal, only a premium is potentially dilutive under the "if converted" method as further discussed below. (3) Restricted stock units and restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position . Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier by weighted average basic common shares outstanding. For the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 , diluted EPS was calculated using the more dilutive of two methods. The first method includes the dilutive effect, using the treasury stock method, associated with restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved. The second method supplements the first by also including the “if converted” effect of the 2.875 % Convertible notes due 2024 during the periods in which they were outstanding and shares underlying the 2.875 % Convertible notes due 2028, when there is a conversion premium. Under the “if converted” method, debt issuance and interest costs, both net of tax, associated with the convertible notes due 2024 are added back to net earnings and the share count is increased by the shares underlying the convertible notes. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in millions, except number of shares which are reflected in thousands, and per share amounts) February 29, February 28, February 29, February 28, Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier $ 33.4 $ 33.1 $ 64.6 $ 16.4 Weighted average basic common shares outstanding 31,117 32,588 31,071 32,654 Basic earnings per share $ 1.08 $ 1.01 $ 2.08 $ 0.50 Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier $ 33.4 $ 33.1 $ 64.6 $ 16.4 Add back: Interest and debt issuance costs on the 2.875 % 0.2 0.3 0.5 n/a Earnings before interest and debt issuance costs 2.875 % convertible notes due 2024 $ 33.6 $ 33.4 $ 65.1 n/a Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding 32,570 34,400 32,676 33,654 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.03 (1) $ 0.97 (1) $ 1.99 (1) $ 0.49 (1) Diluted earnings per share was calculated as follows: Earnings before interest and debt issuance costs on the 2.875 % convertible notes due 2024 Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | Note 11 – Derivative Instruments Foreign operations give rise to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts with established financial institutions are utilized to hedge a portion of that risk. Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain current and probable future debt. The Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges, and therefore the effective portion of unrealized gains and losses is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income. At February 29, 2024 exchange rates, notional amounts of forward exchange contracts for the purchase of Polish Zlotys and the sale of Euros; and the purchase of Mexican Pesos and the sale of U.S. Dollars aggregated to $ 110.9 million. The fair value of the contracts is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Accounts payable and accrued liabilities when in a loss position, or as Accounts receivable, net when in a gain position. As the contracts mature at various dates through April 2026, any such gain or loss remaining will be recognized in manufacturing revenue or cost of revenue along with the related transactions. In the event that the underlying transaction does not occur or does not occur in the period designated at the inception of the hedge, the amount classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified to the results of operations in Interest and foreign exchange at the time of occurrence. At February 29, 2024 exchange rates, approximately $ 2.1 million would be reclassified to revenue or cost of revenue in the next year. At February 29, 2024 , interest rate swap agreements maturing from June 2024 through January 2032 had notional amounts that aggregated to $ 608.6 million. The fair value of the contracts is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities when in a loss position, or in Accounts receivable, net when in a gain position. As interest expense on the underlying debt is recognized, amounts corresponding to the interest rate swap are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss and charged or credited to interest expense. At February 29, 2024 interest rates, approximately $ 13.7 million of gain would be reclassified to reduce interest expense in the next year.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Note 12 – Segment Information The Company operates in three reportable segments: Manufacturing; Maintenance Services; and Leasing & Management Services. Performance is evaluated based on Earnings (loss) from operations. Corporate includes selling and administrative costs not directly related to goods and services and certain costs that are intertwined among segments due to our integrated business model. The Company does not allocate Interest and foreign exchange or Income tax expense for either external or internal reporting purposes. Intersegment sales and transfers are valued as if the sales or transfers were to third parties.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Note 13 – Leases Lessor Equipment on operating leases is reported net of accumulated depreciation of $ 80.7 million and $ 68.0 million as of February 29, 2024 and August 31, 2023 , respectively. Depreciation expense was $ 8.4 million and $ 16.2 million for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 , respectively and $ 6.8 million and $ 12.8 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 , respectively. In addition, certain railcar equipment leased-in by the Company on operating leases is subleased to customers under non-cancelable operating leases with lease terms ranging from one to approximately twelve years . Operating lease rental revenues included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 was $ 30.5 million and $ 58.1 million, respectively, which included $ 5.1 million and $ 10.5 million, respectively, of revenue as a result of daily, monthly or car hire utilization arrangements. Operating lease rental revenues included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 was $ 23.8 million and $ 43.4 million, respectively, which included $ 4.9 million and $ 9.7 million, respectively, of revenue as a result of daily, monthly or car hire utilization arrangements. Aggregate minimum future amounts receivable under all non-cancelable operating leases and subleases at February 29, 2024, will mature as follows: (in millions) Remaining six months of 2024 $ 48.5 2025 87.9 2026 79.0 2027 69.3 2028 53.3 Thereafter 107.7 $ 445.7 Lessee The Company leases railcars, real estate, and certain equipment under operating and, to a lesser extent, finance lease arrangements. As of and for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, finance leases were not a material component of the Company's lease portfolio. The Company’s real estate and equipment leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 75 years , with some including options to extend up to 7 years . The Company recognizes a lease liability and corresponding rig ht-of-use (ROU) asset based on the present value of lease payments. To determine the present value of lease payments, as most of its leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to discount the lease payments based on information available at each lease commencement date. The Company gives consideration to its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when estimating its incremental borrowing rate. The components of operating lease costs were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in millions) February 29, February 28, February 29, February 28, Operating lease expense $ 4.2 $ 3.1 $ 8.4 $ 6.4 Short-term lease expense 1.7 2.6 3.8 4.4 Total $ 5.9 $ 5.7 $ 12.2 $ 10.8 Aggregate minimum future amounts payable under operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable terms at February 29, 2024, will mature as follows: (in millions) Remaining six months of 2024 $ 7.7 2025 14.2 2026 13.4 2027 10.6 2028 9.7 Thereafter 23.9 Total lease payments $ 79.5 Less: Imputed interest ( 7.6 ) Total lease obligations $ 71.9 The table below presents additional information related to the Company’s leases: Weighted average remaining lease term (years): Operating leases 10.6 Weighted average discount rate: Operating leases 2.7 % Supplemental cash flow information related to leases were as follows: (in millions) Six Months Ended February 29, 2024 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 8.8 ROU assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 7.6 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies Portland Harbor Superfund Site The Company’s former Portland, Oregon manufacturing facility (the Portland Property) is located adjacent to the Willamette River. In December 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified portions of the Willamette River bed known as the Portland Harbor, including the portion fronting the Company’s manufacturing facility, as a federal "National Priority List" or "Superfund" site due to sediment contamination (the Portland Harbor Site). The Company and more than 140 other parties have received a "General Notice" of potential liability from the EPA relating to the Portland Harbor Site. The letter advised the Company that it may be liable for the costs of investigation and remediation (which liability may be joint and several with other potentially responsible parties) as well as for natural resource damages resulting from releases of hazardous substances to the site. Ten private and public entities, including the Company (the Lower Willamette Group or LWG), signed an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) of the Portland Harbor Site under EPA oversight, and several additional entities did not sign such consent, but nevertheless contributed financially to the effort. The EPA-mandated RI/FS was produced by the LWG and cost over $ 110 million during a 17-year period. The Company bore a percentage of the total costs incurred by the LWG in connection with the investigation. The Company’s aggregate expenditure during the 17-year period was not material. Some or all of any such outlay may be recoverable from other responsible parties. The EPA issued its Record of Decision (ROD) for the Portland Harbor Site on January 6, 2017 and accordingly on October 26, 2017, the AOC was terminated. Separate from the process described above, which focused on the type of remediation to be performed at the Portland Harbor Site and the schedule for such remediation, 96 parties, including the State of Oregon and the federal government, are participating in a non-judicial, mediated allocation process to try to allocate costs associated with remediation of the Portland Harbor Site. The Company will continue to participate in the allocation process. Approximately 110 additional parties signed tolling agreements related to such allocations. On April 23, 2009, the Company and the other AOC signatories filed suit against 69 other parties due to a possible limitations period for some such claims; Arkema Inc. et al v. A & C Foundry Products, Inc. et al , U.S. District Court, District of Oregon, Case #3:09-cv-453-PK. All but 12 of these parties elected to sign tolling agreements and be dismissed without prejudice, and the case has been stayed by the court until January 14, 2025. The EPA's January 6, 2017 ROD identifies a clean-up remedy that the EPA estimates will take 13 years of active remediation, followed by 30 years of monitoring with an estimated undiscounted cost of $ 1.7 billion. The EPA typically expects its cost estimates to be accurate within a range of - 30 % to + 50 %, but this ROD states that changes in costs are likely to occur. The EPA has identified several Sediment Decision Units within the ROD cleanup area. One of the units, RM9W, includes the nearshore area of the river sediments offshore of the Portland Property as well as downstream of the facility. It also includes a portion of the Portland Property's riverbank. The ROD does not break down total remediation costs by Sediment Decision Unit. The EPA requested that potentially responsible parties enter AOCs during 2019 agreeing to conduct remedial design studies. Some parties have signed AOCs, including one party with respect to RM9W which includes the area offshore of the Portland Property. The Company has not signed an AOC in connection with remedial design, but is assisting in funding a portion of the RM9W remedial design. The ROD does not address responsibility for the costs of clean-up, nor does it allocate such costs among the potentially responsible parties. Responsibility for funding and implementing the EPA's selected cleanup remedy will be determined at an unspecified later date. Based on the investigation to date, the Company believes that it did not contribute in any material way to contaminants of concern in the river sediments or the damage of natural resources in the Portland Harbor Site and that the damage in the area of the Portland Harbor Site adjacent to the Portland Property precedes the Company’s ownership of the Portland Property. Because these environmental investigations are still underway, sufficient information is currently not available to determine the Company’s liability, if any, for the cost of any required remediation or restoration of the Portland Harbor Site or to estimate a range of potential loss. Based on the results of the pending investigations and future assessments of natural resource damages, the Company may be required to incur costs associated with additional phases of investigation or remedial action, and may be liable for damages to natural resources. On January 30, 2017 the Confederated Tribes and Bands of Yakama Nation sued 33 parties including the Company as well as the federal government and the State of Oregon for costs it incurred in assessing alleged natural resource damages to the Columbia River from contaminants deposited in Portland Harbor. Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation v. Air Liquide America Corp., et al., U.S. Court for the District of Oregon Case No. 3i17-CV-00164-SB. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages the plaintiff will seek. The case has been stayed until January 14, 2025. Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Regulation of Portland Property The Company entered into a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in which the Company agreed to conduct an investigation of whether, and to what extent, past or present operations at the Portland Property may have released hazardous substances into the environment. The Company has also signed an Order on Consent with the DEQ to finalize the investigation of potential onsite sources of contamination that may have a release pathway to the Willamette River. The Company’s aggregate expenditure has not been material, however it could incur significant expenses for remediation. Some or all of any such outlay may be recoverable from other responsible parties. Sale of Portland Property The Company sold the Portland Property in May 2023, but remains potentially liable with respect to the above matters. Any of these matters could adversely affect the Company's business and Consolidated Financial Statements. However, any contamination or exacerbation of contamination that occurs after the sale of the property will be the liability of the current and future owners and operators of the Portland Property. Other Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is involved as a defendant in litigation in the ordinary course of business, the outcomes of which cannot be predicted with certainty. While the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, the Company believes that the resolution of pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. As of February 29, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit aggregating to $ 7.1 million assoc iated with performance guarantees, facility leases and workers compensation insurance. |

(2) The dilutive effect of the 2.875 % Convertible notes due 2028 was excluded for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was considered anti-dilutive. As these notes require cash settlement for the principal, only a premium is potentially dilutive under the "if converted" method as further discussed below. (3) Restricted stock units and restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position . |
