Guiding Rails, Driving Success
Offering Expert Industry Trends and Analytics, Project Management, and Personnel Training for the Rail Industry
Rail Consulting Services
Our team of transportation industry professionals have decades of experience in class one, short line, industrial and passenger/commuter rail operations across North America.
Our team can provide methods to properly track information to help you understand what is working, and what could use improvement. Do you know how to define success in your business when it comes to rail? We can help provide the answers so you can make the best decisions, including data-driven decision-making, metrics/analysis, profitability, and KPI, as well as helping you find operational efficiencies.
Is a current contract you are working under coming up for review or renewal? We can help review existing contracts and/or help you renegotiate new contracts with rail providers to ensure you and your customers are getting a fair deal without additional unexpected costs or risks you were not anticipating.
Ever wonder if your engineers are properly taking into account how your network and customers utilize your services prior to implementing sizable capital projects? Is your operating plan understood by the engineers when designing a new project? What is expected to happen on paper might not always be the case for what happens in the field, and many engineering groups overlook key aspects of businesses’ operating plans. This can lead to more headaches and lost revenue and/or efficiencies you hoped to gain. Ensure your capital plans are accounting for everything you need before construction begins.
Our team can get involved early in any project to help ensure your interests are being protected and decisions aren’t being made which could have negative effects on your operations. We can provide insight as the project develops or provide complete project management to its successful conclusion.
Advice can come in many forms. For financial institutions and investment groups, advice comes in the form of discussions to better educate those individuals or groups attempting to gain knowledge prior to investing in a segment of the rail industry. We can help you understand the market, the competition, the challenges in various markets, and how to protect a long-term investment return.
For industry, advice can come in the form of providing information on how to explore the options of performing your own switching versus getting a third-party industrial rail operator. If you choose to use an industrial rail operator, do you fully understand the information being provided in the contract you sign and what that might mean for your business? Are you fully aware of all the risks and benefits? Our team has the expertise to walk you through the language and help provide insight into additional language to protect your business and your customers from unnecessary additional costs and risks.
Do you have a need to qualify employees as a brakeman, conductor, locomotive engineer or track mobile operators? Our team can provide the expertise to train these individuals both in the field and in a classroom setting, as well as provide the required certification indicating they have passed all required rules.
We can also provide some temporary relief when it comes to crews on a short-term basis when unexpected crew storage cannot be covered quickly enough. Our intention is not to replace your HR department to find staff for you, but we can provide interim relief while your people work to hire replacement staff.
Our people can discuss your needs in person, or through video or phone calls. Neither the railway nor the industrial environment work 9-5, neither do we.
Not every consulting client needs the same type of work. Finding the right-sized solution to meet your needs might mean a quick call and discussion about options to think about, or you might need a dedicated individual to work through a significant project. We can provide hourly consulting or project-based fee proposals, whatever suits your needs, even if your needs change as we work together.
The relationships we build with our customers mean the world to us. We will provide you with the cold, hard truth, even if it isn’t good news. We provide our clients with transparency so you can feel comfortable that you always have the best information. We have our client's best interests at heart, and no information related to our client businesses will be shared with any other parties.
