Labor & Equipment Supply

We can provide skilled labor and full service equipment to assist your workforce or stand alone.

Track Design

Surveying your location for grade, elevation, drainage, weight, frequency of use, cost, time, and safety to generate the optimum design and installation of a trackwork structure. Well put together a hand-written design or a computer aided one.

Track Inspections

Sending an experienced trackman to your site to walk your track, locate trackwork deficiencies, and send you a track inspection report. Some customers have us automatically set on regular inspections.

Track Surfacing

Providing railroad equipment to raise sections of rail and mechanically tamp/vibrate the ballast beneath the ties to provide maximum track compaction. While tamping, we can align both rails to matching elevation. Finally, we'll mechanically broom/bring together the loose ballast along the track for further compaction and to provide that uniform track appeal.
