Design/Build and Construction FAQs

Do you build new track, sidings or spur lines?

Yes. We offer new track construction including grading and subballast coordination, track laying,
turnouts, ballast installation, walkway construction, and final surfacing.

Can you expand an existing rail yard or add capacity?

Yes. We can add storage tracks, improve track layout, install additional turnouts and upgrade track structure for increased use.

What is the process for building a new siding or spur, and connecting to the railroad?

To assist our customers as they begin their track construction project, the Mountain States design-build team, typically at no-cost, will:

  • Perform an on-site meeting
  • Begin discussions with the railroad’s engineering, operations, and service teams to help you determine whether or not your rail needs can be met within the limitations of your proposed site.
  • Provide a professional engineered rail layout in CAD
  • Provide a construction estimate

When you, our customer, are ready to continue your construction project, we will smoothly and simultaneously begin the railroad construction process.

This includes:

  • Development of railroad construction drawings
  • Prepare required railroad exhibits
  • Procure the required railroad construction material.

Mountain States has several construction teams able to efficiently build your track needs. Each team is equipped with the proper equipment to perform the work needed to complete your construction, coordinating with Utility, Civil, Building, and other construction activity on your site.

Can you work with an engineer on track design?
