Inspection

To meet industry standards, we advise that one of our expert track inspectors perform a complete inspection monthly. This inspection includes a visual evaluation of the rail, ties, ballast, switches, turnouts, and subgrade. Our track inspectors are also qualified to perform routine maintenance, and will provide a comprehensive report and track evaluation following the inspection.

Maintenance

The inspection report will encompass a maintenance services plan as well as a long-term rehabilitation plan.
