Welded Rail? Easy.
Continuous welded rail spine car
Most of North America’s continuous welded rail (CWR) transport fleet is aging and many trains aren’t able to be interchanged among non-owning railroads.
Herzog’s Gen II Rail Train was designed to be interchangeable, mounted with racks of flanged, steel rollers that allow easy movement of rails during the loading and unloading process.
