Derailment Prevention
PREVENTION OR DERAILMENT
WHICH COSTS YOU MORE MONEY?? YOUR CHOICE!
One of the new emerging trends in the railroad industry are UNIT TRAINS, generally SINGLE COMMODITY TRAINS that are LONGER and HEAVIER than traditional trains.
LONGER, HEAVIER LOADS GEOMETRICALLY INCREASE WEAR AND TEAR ON TRACKS
Prevention is usually FAR LESS COSTLY than REPAIR and CLEANUP
At RSI, our engineers and other railroad professionals can provide routine inspections in your behalf to help PREVENT DERAILMENTS.
How much can Derailment Prevention save you? A recent investigation of a UNIT TRAIN derailment disclosed that a three car derailment cost $140,000 to SETTLE while a routine INSPECTION would have disclosed track, load and train handling issues that could have prevented this huge expense.

Railroad companies are required to perform inspections, but often, simple routine inspections become complacent or sloppy.
At RSI, our team has over 100+ years of combined railroad experience, and WE KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR TO PREVENT DERAILMENT AND ACCIDENTS.
THERE IS AN EMERGING RISK OF HIGH VOLUME GRAIN ELEVATORS ON SUB-STANDARD SECONDARY TRACKS
In the Midwest where most of our grain is grown, we have discovered that the longer, heavier trains often run a serious risk of derailment with the use of seasonally used tracks or spurs that are not engineered to withhold BIG, HEAVY grain loads.
