HRSI EASTON ROAD SHOP + MECHANICAL R&D – Herzog Railroad Services, Inc. is on the verge of completing the construction of its sixth Automated Conveyor Train℠ (ACT). Come May, ACT 6 will be delivered to a Class 1 customer for a major new track construction project. For this model, the gate system was completely redesigned. The ACT now offers a 28% increased ballast flow rate and is capable of unloading base rock. Spearheaded by lead engineer Colton Lee and led by shop manager Jerry Caylor, the buildout has been executed with an aggressive schedule. Shop crews have been working diligently to get the newest ACT to market. Thank you, HRSI team for your vision, dedication, and commitment to excellence!
