Southern National Track performs all types
of railroad track and switch construction, ranging from industrial tracks to
complex switching leads and welded rail running tracks, and yards.
We can also assist you with the conceptual and design requirements of your railroad track project; as well as railroad track repair and industrial track maintenance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of Work Examples
Amtrak's Sanford Rail Yard - This track rehabilitation project entailed replacing nearly 4,000 track ties, 500 switch timbers and installing 2,600 feet of new rail, 11 new track switches and 10 new road crossings. 5,400 track feet and 22 switches were resurfaced. Two-hundred-thirty orgo-thermic type rail welds were utilized. Finally, there was extensive yard paving including crew walkways.
CSX - Haines City - This one-year project was for a new rail bridge over a highway. The SOW included clearing, grading, drainage and sub-ballast work. There were five switches and 4 road crossings (2 with flashers/ gates). SNT uses our own locomotive for materials rail car handling on large projects.
Florida Rock/ Vulcan Industries - This eight-month project included nearly 30,000 track feet, sub-ballast and drainage installations and 23 new switches. Precast concrete was installed for the car loading station (for the collection of runoff from stone wash water as it loads into rail cars).
LaFarge - This five-month project included 1800' of continuous concrete track pour, 3,200 track feet on wood ties, 4 switches and 3 crossings.
Tropicana Products - This seven-month project was to construct new lead tracks and a rail serving yard for orange juice unit trains. It included 4,440 track feet, 10 switches and 7 crossings.
Kennedy Space Center - This eight-month project was to replace the bridge approach span ties for nearly 3,000 track feet on the railroad bridge over NASA's Intercoastal Waterway. Timbers were replaced on the bridge lift span. All walkways and hand railings on the bridge spans leading to the draw bridge were replaced. There were no injuries or safety violations during this difficult project. SNT also performs maintenance on approximately 60 miles of KSC rail lines.
