Railroad Services

Farnsworth Group's Railroad Services group is ready to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions to all of your railway, track, and structural needs. Our in-house staff has more than 20 years of combined Class 1 railroad experience in maintenance and construction. We know what will "really work" in a railroad environment and are driven to carry out pragmatic and cost-effective designs. We understand the language, methods, and procedures unique to the railway industry. "Safety by Design" is built into every project we do.

Farnsworth Group's field personnel are all 49CFR214 "On Track Safety" trained and ready to meet the rigid safety standards expected by the railway industry. Our wealth of experience in railway surveying and mapping, railway bridge design and inspection, track design and inspection, and license/contract management allows us to expedite projects that otherwise may stall. Our Railroad Services staff frequently work with other consultants to manage railway design and permitting issues on projects that cross or interact with the nation's freight railroads. Our full-service engineering and design capabilities are enhanced by our unique skills in data salvaging, safety compliance auditing, public works/railroad liaison, asset management, FRA compliance, GPS/GIS/Specialty Mapping, emergency services, industrial clearances, and land management.

For the industry, public agency, construction contractor or small shortline railroad looking for a consultant with railroad design, construction or inspection expertise, we can tailor a solution to those needs. Farnsworth Group can fill the gaps in your in-house staff capabilities or we can design/inspect all of a project with our capable staff of professionals.
