About Railserve
North America’s Leading On-Site Industrial Rail Services Company.
We operate rail switching, material handling, track maintenance, and locomotive repair across more than 75 locations in the United States and Canada. Over 1,400 people show up to do this work every shift, logging more than 2.7 million hours a year with a safety rate that sits well below the OSHA industry average.
Our Mission
To be North America’s most trusted on-site rail services partner — delivering industry-leading safety and reliable performance so every facility we serve, track we build, and locomotive we service runs better, every shift.
Our Vision
Safety. Quality. Efficiency. These are not aspirations for Railserve, but rather encompass our operating standards, that are embedded in how we hire, how we train, how we work and how we measure performance at every site we serve.
Our Values
Every industrial facility with a railyard has a partner they can trust to run it, maintain their tracks and locomotives, so their team can focus on what they build, not how it moves.
One Partner for What the Yard Needs
Railserve operates as part of Marmon Rail, a Berkshire Hathaway company, bringing the financial strength, compliance rigor, and operational discipline of a world-class organization to every site, every shift.
Ameritrack and Powerhouse now operate under the Railserve name, uniting decades of track and locomotive expertise into one seamless operation. One name. Three areas of expertise. The same trusted teams.
As part of Marmon Rail, Railserve operates within a network of specialized partners: Transco Rail Services for railcar and tank car repair; Trackmobile, BOSS Railcar Movers, and Zephir for railcar mover technology; UTLX/PROX for tank car manufacturing and leasing; and McKenzie Valve & Machining for valve manufacturing. This backing ensures the operation behind your facility is built for durability, performance, and long-term success.
Decades of Expertise You Can Depend On
Rail switching, material handling, track services, and locomotive repair now run under one name and one leadership team. The people and processes that built each discipline are still here. Your facility just no longer has to manage them separately.
Why Facilities Choose Us, and Stay
Every Railserve operation is backed by proven processes, proprietary technology, dedicated on-site supervision, and the strength of a Berkshire Hathaway company.
The results show up where it matters: stronger safety performance, smoother transitions, and partnerships that grow. Customers trust us to take on more – from switching and material handling to track maintenance and locomotive repair.
Safety Is a Hiring Decision
We recruit for safety disposition through behavior-based interviewing and train every crew member to site-specific procedures before they work independently.
Technology That Does Real Work
Patented safety technology, the REACT hazard detection device, and Yard Tracker software are built into how we operate. We provide the right technology and tools to our employees to keep them safe, do their job effectively, and to keep your yard running efficiently.
Management at Every Level
Salaried supervisors are on-site at every location. Regional Operations and Safety Leaders each oversee five to ten sites, so performance issues surface early.
Proven Track Record
Current customers often bring Railserve to manage their other facilities, or to maintain track at sites across their network of locations.
Stability You Can Plan Around
Customers who work with Railserve, start to view us less like a vendor and more like a partner. We work hard to ensure that the railyard is managed efficiently to keep your operations on track, and our customers often ask us to do more for their site across our range of services.
45+ Years of Work Behind Every Site We Run
The Team Behind the Operation
The people leading this company have run railyards, managed multi-site operations, built safety programs from the ground up, and worked inside the industries we serve. That experience shows up in how we transition new sites, how we handle exceptions, and how we build operating plans that hold shift to shift.

Who We Hire and How We Lead
We recruit heavily from the military and veteran community, particularly veterans with Corps of Engineers backgrounds, because the discipline, policy adherence, and heavy equipment experience translate directly to the work. We support Employee Resource Groups across the organization and maintain inclusive leadership at every level of the company. In Canada, our operations are engaged in consultant-led initiatives to work with and support Indigenous communities in the regions where we operate.
Our employees report a 90% satisfaction score. In a business this demanding, that number reflects culture more than perks.
