Railway Construction and Maintenance

As if government, financial and economic factors weren’t challenging enough, railway construction and maintenance-of-way (MOW) activities present challenges all their own. Ranging from managing track availability windows and gang time to improving communications and coordination among departments, it can seem that productivity and efficiency goals are out of reach.

Trackmobile has kept in step with these challenges and offers proven solutions to reduce down-time and fuel costs, increase safety, and provide GPS positioning while reducing railyard crew requirements.

Decreasing out-of-service time and reducing costs through reliable equipment that can quickly and efficiently move gangs and equipment in all types of weather and conditions has earned Trackmobile its title as leader in the industry. Although retrieving and delivering engines and railcars to maintenance facilities is important, Trackmobiles are most useful for quickly getting track repair crews and materials on site and on-time for scheduled repairs. With bright work light packages and high speed axles, Trackmobiles also are available with a cab option able to seat three crew members at once.

For more than 65 years, Trackmobile has been delivering efficient railcar movement and material handling processing.
