We design and build rail yard and spur track expansions at plants that keep operating. When production grows, the yard becomes the bottleneck: railcars wait, demurrage charges add up and switching moves get in each other’s way.
An expansion can include:
- New receiving and dispatch tracks: more railcars received without splitting the train.
- Crossovers: a short track with turnouts that connects two parallel tracks and improves circulation within the yard.
- Reconfiguration of existing tracks: a new layout to make better use of the same land.
- New connections to the main line: turnouts and signaling.
Projects in this category:
- DeAcero, Celaya, Gto.: yard expansion with receiving and dispatch tracks and reconfiguration of existing tracks to reduce delays.
- Metalsa, Apodaca, N.L.: track expansion within the yard and a crossover with No. 8 steel turnouts; steel ties embedded in asphalt and concrete-embedded track sections.
- Kohler: construction of spur tracks with No. 9, 11 and 15 turnouts.
- Vigía, Salinas Victoria, N.L.: logistics warehouse terminal with No. 20 and No. 15 turnouts connected to the main line.
