Allied Rail Corporation

Our policy and procedures ensure strict adherence to train movement. Policies also ensure best practices in hand and radio communications along with professional handling of equipment of certified trained personnel. 

 

Movement of railcars requires the development of safe work procedures specific to each operation, its equipment, and operators. Allied Rail Group switching crews review all inbound manifests and disassemble and classify the inbound railcars to the locations within your facility. During this process team members determine what is needed next for inspection, cleaning, repair, loading, and/or storage. Once loading has been completed our team spot cars and build the outbound train for shipment to your customers. We use a variety of equipment including locomotives and mobile railcar movers, (Track mobiles) tailored to the size and layout of your facility.

​

Our company can develop, document, and train employees in safe car movement.

It is imperative that any freight car that is to be moved must be done in a safe manner

by qualified trained personnel as to prevent personal injuries or damage to the car or

equipment used thereby attributing to lost production time, serious injury and/or death.
