SWITCHING

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.

OUR EXPERTS, YOUR SOLUTION
At facilities with lower railcar volumes, we can add other economical services - such as maintenance - to take the burden of railcar operations off your shoulders by providing a dedicated on-site Rescar crew.  Our team is thoroughly trained in safe, efficient, and responsive railcar services.

Rescar safely performs all services with defect-free workmanship, complying with regulatory requirements and meeting customer and Rescar standards.  We continually raise our standard of quality by monitoring and improving our process.
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.
