RESCAR PRIDE DRIVES EFFICIENT AND SAFE HANDLING OF RAILCARS We provide switching services across North America. Rescar customers range from one of the largest refineries in the U.S. to smaller facilities serve by mobile railcar movers a few days a week.
At some facilities we simply handle daily switching duties to keep cars moving safely and efficiently. For other customers, we bundle services including yard management, track inspection, railcar inspection, repair, cleaning and maintenance.
CASE STUDY: BETTER SERVICE AT LOWER COST Rescar's costs are competitive, of course. Just as important, our deep knowledge of rail yard operations, as well as our excellent relationships with Class 1 railroads, will lower your total costs even more.
In one case, a large coke-processing facility brought in Rescar to take over management of its switching operations. When we arrived, their connecting Class I railroad took 5-7 days to pick up loads. The resulting massive inventory of coke being stored on the ground was causing environmental concerns, not to mention soaring inventory costs. Rescar soon solved the problem, cutting pickup times to less than 12 hours and eliminating the coke inventory altogether.
Whether you switch a few cars a day - or hundreds you need to know your inventory is moving safely and reliably.

LOCOMOTIVES
Because no two switching operations are alike, we analyze and deploy the most effective motive power for each situation:
Mobile railcar moves for lighter volumes
One or two 1,000 - 2000 hp locomotives for medium-duty operations
Multiple 2,000 hp locomotives for major industrial sites
Petrochemical and chemical
Agriculture
Manufacturing
And many more...
Utilize your existing locomotives, or look to Rescar to lease one or more switchers. Rescar can assist you with your purchase and lease options both depending on your needs.
