FULL-SERVICE
RAILROAD CONSULTANTS
Freight or passenger, vintage or modern. Our expertise encompasses all facets of railroad equipment operations, inspection, maintenance, and repair. Our consultants have worked on hundreds of mainline and short line diesel-electric locomotive, overhauled multiple steam locomotives, and have been involved in the design of some unique railcar and locomotive designs.
PEACE OF MIND
Through transparency, communication, and dedication to craft, we provide our clients with peace of mind that work will be done as described and up to standard. The rail industry, in particular, is unusually abusive to equipment, where duty cycles, grit, and tonnage often dictate the availability of a given asset. We always keep this at the fore when approaching a project - embodying the mantra of "expect the unexpected."
Ultimately, however, our greatest strength lies in our ability to communicate clearly the details and nuances of railway mechanics in a manner that our clients understand and, in the end, enables them to make key decisions regarding equipment repair and refurbishment. Whether you seek to hire FMW to handle a project soup-to-nuts, or you'd like us to diagnose a problem and coach your crews to repair the equipment, we are ready to provide you peace of mind.
