Specs
There is a lot to cover here so we will try to break it down and make it as
easy as possible for you to digest all of this information. The following
are listed by the order of questions we typically get from clients:
Bridge Prices
This is for the actual railcar body itself. At a minimum, the
following parts are removed before we ship your unit to you: couplers,
yokes, draft gears, wheels, and trucks. We also like to remove a lot of
other non-essential parts, such as brakes, but since we often sub-contract this
process in many areas so we can not always guarantee exactly which parts will be
removed. In an ideal world this wouldn't be a problem but when you are
dealing with railroads, you really cant demand to much. We are always
willing to work with you if you insist on having every single non-essential part
removed...but there will be an additional charge for us to go to the railcar
before it ships out to verify that all parts have been removed.

Abutments
Check out our "ABUTMENTS" page to learn more about our pre-cast concrete
abutments.
Installation Kits
In an effort to make bridge building easier for all of our clients, we have
"installation kits" available for most projects! Our kits have just about
everything you need to install your bridge. Smaller parts are shipped
directly from our Colorado office while other heavier parts are located and
purchased as close to your job site as possible and shipped directly to you.
Engineering
Check out our "ENGINEERING" page to learn more about
these services.
Car types
The most common lengths are listed above in the pricing chart. We do have
odd sizes available from time to time (for example, at the time of this
publication we have received some 48' units but once they sell out we will
probably never see them again for a long while). Click
here to go to our "UNITS" page to learn more about each individual type.
Quality
While most railcars ARE created equally, most are far from being equal after
many years of use. We are very careful when selecting which railcars meet
our high standards for bridge use (learn more about our CONVERSION process) and which railcars are shredded. We encourage you
to visit our "NOT FOR SALE" page to learn
more about the equipment that others may be trying to sell you (it's only a deal
until you have problems with it).

including stone facade & new decking upgrades.
