Equity Method Investments, Guarantees | Investments in affiliated companies represent investments in and loans to domestic and foreign affiliates, and primarily include companies offering lease financing and related services for customers operating rail and marine assets, as well as companies that lease aircraft engines. Loan amounts included in investments in affiliated companies were $16.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and $24.2 million as of December 31, 2013. In 2014, we sold our investments in the Intermodal Investment Fund V and Intermodal Investment Fund VII affiliates. As a result of these sales, we received aggregate cash proceeds of $18.3 million. In 2013, we dissolved our Singco and Somargas marine affiliates, taking direct ownership of five liquefied gas carrying vessels with a fair value of $151.8 million. In connection with the dissolution we paid $101.3 million, primarily to satisfy our share of the affiliates' external debt, and recognized a pretax gain of $2.5 million, which is recorded in share of affiliates' earnings. The vessels continue to operate in a vessel pooling arrangement that our former partner manages. In 2013, we sold our 37.5% interest in AAE to our partner, Ahaus Alstätter Eisenbahn Holding AG (“AAE Holding”), and recognized a pretax gain of $9.3 million, which we reported as part of our share of affiliates' earnings. The sale price of $114.1 million consisted of a cash payment at closing of $23.0 million and a seller loan of €67.5 million ($91.1 million) at a market interest rate. The loan was paid in full in January 2015. In 2012, our gas compression equipment leasing affiliate, Enerven Compression, LLC ("Enerven"), sold substantially all of its assets and is in the process of liquidating. In connection with the disposition, we recognized an impairment loss of $14.8 million in 2012, which we recorded in our share of affiliates' earnings. In 2013, we reversed $1.1 million of the prior impairment loss due to higher than expected proceeds from the asset sales.
